Combo Coticule (Blue and Yellow) 7×1.5″, Select Grade
Easy to use and versatile, the Combo Coticule (Blue and Yellow) 7 x 1.5″, Select Grade keeps your blades sharp, neat, and polished.
FEATURES
- Use wet or dry or wet with a slurry
- Yellow coticule with 8000 grit (without slurry) or 6000 grit (with slurry)
- Slurry stone sold separately
- Blue coticule with 4000 grit is ideal for re-sharpening a dull blade
- Sharpen a blade with the blue stone and polish with the yellow stone
- Non-porous stone does not require pre-soaking
- 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 Yellow Coticule stone you will actually receive.
