Nice big chopper my friend. I have to admit I have never seen a Belgian razor before. What stone is that in your picture? Is that a Salm rock? At first I thought it was a block of wood with old cracked leather on it.

Thanks!
I have a few Belgian razors. They are not as well known indeed as the Sheffield or Solingen ones.
The stone is a Nakayama Karasu, a Jnat.
Karasu stands for crow and the pattern on these stones resembles flying crows (with some imagination...)
Here is a similar one. (No commercial interest):

Very cool! Thank you for that information. With your instruction I have learned something new today about two subjects I know little to nothing about.
