A pretty large Charnley, 12x2.25x1.2 ish. It is extremely hard compared to my other Charnley posted (which is already hard) and makes an awful sound when you have to flatten it out - it took forever to get it flat, remove those scratches, and level out the back. Usually, I would sand off the sides and back before any pictures, but I just don't have the time for how hard it is. None of the lines cause issues, though it has a funky looking one on the left side I was originally worried about before having it in hand. It gives a lot of feedback (a bit more than my other one) with the middle dark part giving a little different feel than the outer lighter colored edges (I thought originally maybe oil residue, but I cannot get anything to come out, so maybe higher in abrasive levels). Puts a nice keen edge as the final stage with water only so far, though a bit scratchier looking under the loupe than my other Charnley - they both work well. I think my first one plays better with water dilution method so far, but time will tell with more testing.
