That's an oldie!

Leave it be and hone it up, Mike!

Twas my thoughts too, Tom. The patina looks very even. ETA is Monday, we'll see upon arrival.

Can't wait...always wanted one in a wedge. And it'll make my trifecta.

Wedge
Reground. Wedge to hollow grind.
Original, Hollow ground.

I think that covers my W&B wants... for awhile. Still lookin for the big Wosty to jump outta nowhere. Very elusive, and like I need more razors.

You mean like this one Mike?



This one I can narrow down to between 1863-1865 if I recall correctly. I'll have to find the thread I posted about it.

Edit: here's a link to the thread about it.:

This is the only picture of the stone itself. Obviously the seller was not versed in stones because most of the pics were of the box. As cool as the box is, you don't hone on it. As a result, I can't tell much about the stone, other than that it is dirty as hell, but I guess we'll find out when it shows up.

Nice one Paul, excellent stone

It looks like it will thank you for a good soak.

Soaking right now

Got the Pike No. 1 cleaned up today. In my excitement I didn't get any before pictures other than the eBay pic but in the eBay picture I was almost afraid it was a carborundum stone in a Pike Washita box. It took well to the soak in the Simple Green. I think whoever had it before must have worked with gouges or some kind of 90° edged tool as there was wear evenly down both sides of the top where it had a high swath down the middle. Again, I didn't get good before pictures but this is after a little lapping.

This stone was glued into the box but the glue broke loose before it came to me. I would have broken it out anyway but I would have tried to heat the glue so this didn't happen.

Again, after a little lapping.

It cracked some of the stone with it. I used the heat gun and a chisel and cleaned up the box...



...and got it cleaned out.
Anyway so I got the stone clean. I got it flat. I got it smooth.


And this is the end product
