Outback that coti is a stunner. Simply gorgeous. The manganese is like art work. Glad it is really hard you don't want to lap much more on her.

Yes your description sounds more like the Glanrafon from Wales even though it is labeled Charley Forest Not Charnley forest it is a different type of stone than the normal Charnley Forest stone. I...

So I can not fully tell from a pic as it has more to do with hardness and feel of the stone. Though from your assessment of the edge and looks I would guess this maybe the harder Glanrafon from Wales...

The more I mess with this stone the more it seems like a coticule in feel, slurry and looks. Everything I find about the glanrafon tells me it was just a quarry not a stone type. The one previously...

I originally thought coticule, but then changed my mind after looking at the pictures for a bit. Still not 100% sure it isn't, but never saw a coti with su either. If it is a coti it is some old...

So I accidentally bought this stone on the bay. Not sure what it is. Very hard and puts a nice edge on a knife with slurry. Didn’t look or feel like oil was used, but the box and stone have a slight...
