Which Colicule could be used as a bevel setter?

[dta116]

In my search for a narrow bevel setter, I wonder if a Coticule would work, I know some of them are better for tools; maybe one of those would work.

Thanks, Dave

It would work but it may take some time depending on the grit of the coticule and the condition of the razor.
I would go for a nice synthetic it will do the job a lot faster.

You might like to try a 3 nagura stone set of 3 different grits on your coticule to see if results can be achieved.

I believe it's called "one-stone" honing...................

If you could find a Coticule from one of the lower veins like this one of mine they make AWESOME bevel setters




Yeppers AWESOME

I think it is called the lower Chosera vein

ps: want a narrow one ??? take a pencil and draw a line lengthwise down the hone and shift the honing area to one side of the line and it does the exact same thing as a narrow hone

No really it does

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.

I 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

You CAN use a Coticule as bevelsetter, but the coticules are naturel stones, so there is no way of knowing how fast they cut or what grit they have.

I have four coticules and they are all great finishers. I tried to hone with different coticules but they where ale great finishers.

I recommend a Naniva Super stone 1000K as bevel setter. That's a great stone, very fast and precise. And I think it's underrated on forums like this.

But a great stone and cheap to.

Using coticules as bevelsetter takes lot of time and patience. If you press to hard you ruin the spine. That is reason I would use a Naniwa.

Great Idea Kristian, I have 2 of them, now show me a narrow stone I can use.

and JERRY, I don't think the Botan will give me enough "grit" for a plumb dull razor.

Why do you want a narrow hone? If the hone is narrow you increase the possibility of uneven hone wear. That's not good, especially not on bevel setting.

I would use a large coticule like 20x7,5cm or 17x5 cm. as bevel setting I would use hard pressure and circle movements. With lot of slurry - almost mud.

When the bevel is almost set, I would use rolling x-strokes.

The most important thing when honing is the bevel setting.

I'll go for the 1000k Naniwa or King any day and use the coticule for the rest..

I hand one,maybe two, coticules that I would use to set bevels. And that would only be on a hollow ground razor. I'd never try it on a near wedge. You'd be there for days on even the fastest coticules.

Id go with a chosera. But if you are set on a coticule a hybrid Les Lat, La Dresssante, or La Veinette would be good options. Manganese lines normally relate to a fast stone but they are natural stones so results will vary.

I have a La Veinette that is very fast on slurry but is a super fine finisher on water. But out of the 100 or so coticules I have owned I have only had 2 that act like this.

Get a Chosera and a coticule and that will be all you need.
