Thread: Washita stone

Antique store browsing with my wife today (I know I'm getting old now) and found this stone in a case with some knives and roached out straight razors. Could see some yellow where it broke loose on the bottom and thought for $10, it was worth the risk. My wife cleaned up the inside top of the box, after cleaning she could read WASH and what she thought was a fish tail. Cleaned the oil off one side to get a look at it. I did some research and turns out to be an old Pike Washita stone. Kind of a cool old hone, have to give it a try on my pocket knives.

Nice find! Some use washita's on razors too
