That LI on the left is near identical to mine, and I love it. It's my go to knife finisher, but also puts a nice edge on a razor. I think they are of the type that was known as a Grecian hone.Digging up this necro thread, hold my shovel...
Trying out a couple oddballs from the internet. One Finnish natural, very fine phyllite that feels almost Ark hard. The other a Llyn Idwal, fine green novaculite. So far not the sharpest shaves I've had yet, but comfortable, and also haven't done a proper progression so no final conclusions. Mostly they're just both really cool!View attachment 1405899
Wow they really could be twins. I'm looking forward to getting a better base level.in this razor then seeing what she'll do. If it's close to my other Arks, I'm sure I'll be pretty dang happy.That LI on the left is near identical to mine, and I love it. It's my go to knife finisher, but also puts a nice edge on a razor.

I may have been a little hasty in saying I thought yours looked like a Grecian D...
It certainly looks almost identical to my old one (now belonging to @captaincaed ). And I do have a small, definite ‘Grecian’ Idwal which is way coarser and faster than that one:
