Yes sir.....1" thick!!
Look at my original post to open this thread and you can see this stome after I cleaned it with Easy Off. On page 5 of this thread you posted a pic and my stone looks very similar if not the same....
Here is a fresh picture taken outside moments ago...

Re: Sharpening Stones thread
Posted this in another thread but decided it belonged here.A Carborundum Duo Stone model 92. Two stones(one coarse;one fine) on a spring loaded rotating platform measuring 2" by 12";Bakelite housing and cover(cover has a large piece missing from it). Bottom was loaded with rancid lard oil(see original post for story). Got it all cleaned out and the stones cleaned off with brake cleaner and scuff pad.Works great and the price was right($15).

Re: Sharpening Stones thread
TripleF I think it may be for sharpening single edge razor blades.

Re: Sharpening Stones thread
I agree, except that I think it is for double edge safety razors. I have one that is somewhat similar in design and the box says that.edgy46 wrote:TripleF I think it may be for sharpening single edge razor blades.

Re: Sharpening Stones thread
Scott - I have a beard but I keep my neck shaved. When I look at that safety razor stone I feel a profound gratitude that I can buy bag of disposable razors! When I was young I used safety razors to shave (no beard then), but even then I just tossed the dull ones instead of sharpening them. In fact, I never knew that special sharpening stones were made for the blades I used. I bet my father did not know that either, or else he would have had one.

Re: Sharpening Stones thread
I have been picking up a few too Scott.
These two are ones I got at estate sales the last couple weeks.
The Yankee Clipper has the cardboard sleeve that slides over it. Love the graphic on it.
The Yankee Clipper is 6-1/2" X 1-3/4". I paid $4 for it. I think the price was that high just for the sleeve.
The Carboloy is 4-1/4" X 3/4".

Re: Sharpening Stones thread
Hey Scott - I definitely am getting something out of it ... Had a number of them for years to sharpen fillet knives, others for hooks... A few weeks back I bought a bag of sharpening stones of all kinds for $6 that included a Norton Stone in an original box at a yard sale!!TripleF wrote:.hope someone is gleaning info from this thread....

Re: Sharpening Stones thread
So, here's one......
Every time (only been about a half dozen times) I place the blade on it it feels like it's going to slip right off the stone......very, very smooth.
Came out of a garage stacked and packed with hand tools....

Re: Sharpening Stones thread
I suspected this chunk was a sharpening stone/brick of some sort.
Any info would be appreciated.

Re: Sharpening Stones thread
Here's an old Case counter hone that you won't easily find, up for auction on eBay. Overpriced IMHO but if you want one here it is. http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-W-R-CAS ... Swa-dWlWsF. Not my auction, I'm not bidding.

I realize this is a steel, not a stone, but it is cool. A Keen Kutter sharpening steel. The guard is in the shape of the KK wedge and bar emblem.
