hello!!!!! Could you help me identify 3 stones?

What is the square basic that you using to shake the stone?

This is me from eBay 😂.

This isn't the wild this is thrift

Can the brass edges on a Stratton Brothers #1 level be removed for cleaning? If possible, I don't know if trying to slide or pry them out would be best.

Maybe interested in Indonesian natural Whetstone?

Thanks for all the info on stones. Just wondering if you knew the specific gravity of the lisbon chocolate hone.

I’ve got two, Ranger and 1.5” black. Case for Buck knife and a must have wallet. Try them. You won’t be disappointed..

Your cutting boards are beautiful, your knowledge on sharpening stones impressive too.

This came up in my feed. I'd recently purchased some precision ground tool room stones, and now have honing stone videos to watch. I'm blown away by how much you guys know about this.

I have a little collection of old washitas in various sizes and I love the way they work with older steels, most cutlery steels really with the exception of the really hard and wear resistant "super steels" powdered, melted, high alloy stuff that you really should just use diamonds if you are going to try. I have a few of those, but since I enjoy sharpening and honing I really don't worry about edge retention beyond the basics is the knife heat treated well and will it take and support a good edge. Honestly since I started using washitas I rarely use my soft and hard Arkansas stones and only break out the translucent on rare occasions. The washita is faster cutting and leaves a nicer finish, also there is something really cool about using really old stones probably half soaked in whale oil and God knows what else lol.

Interesting vid topic, but I could only watch a portion as it was a strain to listen to you while trying to filter out the background noise.

Are you supposed to use both sides?

Morphine, that's one of my favorite bands!

A good tradeoff between alumina and silica.

Hey man can you make a video of those 2 jnats you have on eBay

This purple slate is suuuuper nice lookin.

Interesting video, sorry Im late. I wouldn't mind having a decent lilly or no.1. If you know of one drop me link. Preferably 8x2. Thanks man.

A polisher but not very effective on newer hard steels.is hard but light

That is charcoal block, dense hardened from charcoal powder. I have one identicall, was used in electrical tables sometimes

Dude that one with the hole in it is a banner stone I’d bet. A sweet artifact

You provide a lot of information about sharpening stones. Is there a way to determine the grit of a stone? Since most of your video involves subjective determining, I feel like there is no good way to objectively determine grit.

Dude....morphine is the tits.as of now I'm just a few minutes into the video but I suspect I'll hear your playing the whole album, and so I say unto you, fine sir, you earned a sub.

Hi, are you supposed to remove the label on that Pike stone or is that side not useable. I ask because I found an "Old Rook" brand stone that is tan on one side and dark grey on the reverse that has an "authenticity" label stuck on. I was thinking the sticker side might be a courser grit but am unsure. Good videos good sir and I learned a lot. Cheers.

I've picked up stones in the wild, garage sales, estate sales. What grit silicone carbide powder do you use to clean up the stones. Thanks for all your information, it's a learning process.

Thanks for the vid. I've never tested density that way. I'm going to have to look into it.

How much would these sell for?

Stone guy, I'm from argentina. I require your wisdom identifying some stones I found in a really old house. I believe they were from a german inmigrant that came here around 1920, maybe earlier. I can send pictures and i do have a kind of "microscope" for my phone. Where can I send you pictures of them? Maybe you find them interesting. I could get their specific gravity if it helps.

What is the best use of washita?any Arkansas work with “supersteels? Are dans lily white washitas?

Are India stones very muddy? Like if you rub 2 together they create a lot of mud? Thank you.

Thanks, picked up a washita at an estate sale today and it's an older one in a wood box that is quite soiled.

Question: I have my Dad's stone. I'm 54 and remember it from when I was a kid. It is grey/ beige and has a good weight to it. it's marked HORTON combination oil Stone JBB. Also says bear with a pitcher or a Bear head.I lost the box it came in. Can you tell me anything about it?I'm going away this weekend and would like to sharper my axe/ machete/ hatchet and a few knives. I understand without seeing it it might be difficult. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated brother. 👍 P.S. you do sound like a geologist😅.

I have one of these! It looks to be the same width and thickness as yours, but only half as long, I'd love to figure out what it is and maybe find a bigger piece, great polisher!

Hi It’s pronounced washi-taw 😊😊 great video

You have an Etsy/Ebay?

Look up the definition of the name of those stones please. It is not pronounced like you are saying it properly.

Specific gravity is density. The reason the suspension tests works is that the specific gravity of water is one. So you are back calculating the volume of the item as a SG of one.

God a beautiful green stone on Amazon. However, the wet saw that was used to cut it needs some maintenance.

Can connect with me please

iam interested to buy it , if it for sell please let me know

Just tryin to help. Its not sili-CONE carbide. It is pronounced sili-CON.

Cute!

Looks like part of an old clock base .

I agree, I bet those small stones you have are a form of Tam O Shanter, maybe the "newer" mined WoA Blue version. A lot were cut that way.

I wonder if your unknown Washita-like stones are type of Hindostan. There was a version often called "Washita-style" when sold at times.

Wish I could find myself a Deer Lick. Any recommendations for tracking one down?

I've got an ark that has me confused it seems similar to like the one you said that boarded on a hard ark. Mine is red/orange on top, sandy white on bottom but the whole stone is translucent stone is 7/8 thick and with the lights of a flashlight will just barely shine through the whole thickness of stone. With lights on it shines through half way on edges

Some really intriguing stuff there AA!
