Combo Coticule (Blue and Yellow) 6 x 2″, Select Grade
For complete sharpening care, there’s the Combo Coticule (Blue and Yellow) 6 x 2″, Select Grade.
FEATURES
- Blue coticule: 4000 grit
- Yellow coticule: 8000 grit (without a slurry), 6000 grit (with a slurry)
- Can be used wet or dry or wet with a slurry stone
- Slurry sold separately
- Blue coticule sharpens dull blades; yellow stone provides finishing touches
- Easy to use and suitable for beginners
- 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 stones
- Note: These are two natural stones and each stone is one-of-a-kind. The photo is for illustration purposes ONLY, and might not accurately represent the Belgian Blue and Yellow Coticule stone you will actually receive.
