Belgian Yellow Coticule 5×1.5″, Standard Grade
Get just the edge you’re looking for with the Belgian Yellow Coticule 5 x 1.5″, Standard Grade.Â
FEATURES
- Use wet or dry or wet with a slurry
- Grit of 8000 (without slurry), 6000 (with slurry)
- Slurry sold separatelyÂ
- Non-porous stone that does not require pre-soaking
- Splash water on stone prior to use
- Easy to use and suitable for beginnersÂ
- The difference between the standard and select grade coticules lies only in their appearance. Both stone grades have identical sharpening qualities.
TO USE
- Very hard stone (harder that most artificial wet stones) but will still need lapping before first usage and from time to time.
- To lap: Use a lapping stone (i.e DMT-8C 325 coarse diamond sharpening stone or Norton Lapping Stone) or with sandpaper on a very flat surface (i.e. glass).
- Tip: the long edges of the stone should be rounded slightly with a lapping stone or sandpaper. This way the risk of denting the blade in a normal honing motion across the stone is greatly reduced.
MATERIALS
- Natural sharpening stone
- Note: These are natural stones and each stone is one-of-a-kind. The photo is for illustration purposes ONLY, and might not accurately represent the Belgian Yellow Coticule stone you will actually receive.Â
