Yeppers AWESOME
Your a riot Glen, I have the #800 version and , yes, it is awesome.
I thank all of you for the education/sugestions but maybe I should rephrase the question.
Do you know of a narrow natural stone that would make a good bevel setter, if a Coticule, which vein?
Thank you.

Thanked: 13234I honestly don't
I tried to make an all natural set up a couple of times, there is no doubt there are several ways to "Make Do" but the 1k-ish Synthetics are just so good at what they do that it makes it a niche / eclectic way of bevel setting not to use them..
Sorry

Thanked: 24if you want a fast coticule you should look for one with a pinkish hue or pink dots, that's apparently an indication that it will be fast.
for the rest I thought that the La Dresante and Les Latneuses can be quite fast (see: http://www.coticule.be/rep1.html ) but you know how it is, you need te get lucky as well. If you ask Maurice at Ardennes Coticule nicely he might just pick the hone you are looking for

Thanked: 24you could also go for a 40 X 200 mm Belgium Blue Whetstone, it is thin, doesn't cost to much and it is long so you can make longer strokes which should make some difference.
there is also the La pyrenee glued to a BBW but they are sold a bit wider at 50 mm (I haven't used these myself)
I would still recommend you to get the Chosera and put it on its side if you realy want a thin hone, but if you are dead set on a natural bevel setter the La Pyrenee could be your hone
