New natural stone I'm trying out

[eKretz]

Guys, got a new natural stone I've been playing with lately, not sure exactly what it is but I like it for a finisher so far. I've only honed a test piece of hardened steel, one knife and one razor so far. I've run out of Photobucket bandwidth so I'm just going to link my thread at a razor forum if you want to check it out:

Not sure what it is, but I want one!

What size would you want?

What size would you want?

Oops, didn't see this until now. I find 8"x2" to be a very serviceable size.

Got anything you might be willing to trade? I can cut you one 8" x 2" and lap one side flat. Just be aware that this will only be useful as a finisher for the most part. I've been able to follow a 2,000 JIS stone with it on water and slurry, then I finish on a couple drops of oil. About 3 - 4 drops on a stone that size, (just enough to wet the whole stone when you spread it) then wipe it off immediately and finish honing.

As of right now, the only thing I have open for trade is a Cold Steel Rajah 2, which is certainly not for everyone! Interesting knife, though.
