Is 1 5/8" × 15/16" a typical escher dimensions? Happened to see 2 labeled ones lately with those dimensions...obviously not this long. Just curious...definitely my favorite hone after getting to use...

Figured this would give some perspective LOL...definitely not a palm hone.

Ok, now that I have had the chance to use this stone a few times I must say I can now understand why the 12 inch Thuringian stones demand such a premium. This stone is by far my favorite and I...

If anything I will slab off half an inch or so for a slurry stone, be about it, if I even do that. I enjoyed honing on it this morning, odd when you're use to smaller stones....it's huge.

Well Ive gotta say...I refreshed a coticule edge on my boker damascus magnetic steel with this stone and it improved it significantly, leaves no scratch pattern and the amazingly keen edged...and its...

No problem man, glad you're liking my homemade hones, they give a good edge for me, hope they do for you as well.

Bout to put this 14" Thuringian? to the test.

So yall agree with me on it being a dark blue thuri? I have never seen one 14" but sheesh my mind is blown....I soooooo cant wait to hone on it!

Gotta bring it to work but looks a lot like my dark blue thuringian.

Gotta finish lapping couldn't resist posting a pic Haha...it makes a slurry while lapping that looks identical to my thuringians...has saw marks on all the sides as well...swiped the sides with the...

Interesting so far... definitely a natural stone.

Estimated delivery on the 22nd..6 days and its only 30 minutes away where it says its located lol....hate tracking.

On the other hand I picked up a 3 line in box with instructions for 23 bucks...

Sheesh I hate waiting on this one!

No choice when you've got a long one right? Lol

Hahahahahahaha...my wife asked me why I was laughing so hard, I had to explain.

Anyways, the horse shoe isnt uncomfortable other than being a little heavy wearing it hanging from my neck, I...

Picked a droescher recently that had that look, in person it looked like a dark blue till I lapped it....turns out its a very light green, worst part of getting these hones is the waiting game, if it...

Its that sarcasm stuff, just reference how it might burst from all the joy lol

I figured it was worth. $50 gamble for sure, ill definitely get more pics up when I receive it and more after I lap it.

I'd be heartbroken if it happens to be a 14" thuringian.

Snagged this off ebay today...figured it was worth a gamble, saw marks seemed like a good indicator to me as well as the possibly whiteish dried slurry so made an offer and they swapped it to bin for...
