Get just the edge you’re looking for with the Belgian Yellow Coticule 5 x 1.5″, Standard Grade. 

FEATURES

• Use wet or dry or wet with a slurry
• Grit of 8000 (without slurry), 6000 (with slurry)
• Slurry sold separately 
• Non-porous stone that does not require pre-soaking
• Splash water on stone prior to use
• 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 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.
