Thread: what sort of hone is this

Nice big one.
Looks like it could be an LV.
Well done.

LV is not on the list of acronyms. ??

Here's a good video on flattening your coticule. You can use wet dry sand paper instead of the big lapping hones.

That's a very nice natural Belgian yellow coticule/BBW combo.
What are the dimensions?

7.3 wide, 15 long and 1.5 high in cm

That's a generous hone, use it well.
Watch out when you're lapping it so you don't remove to much from the yellow coticule layer. The thinnest point only looks to have a few millimetres.

Just realized that I misspelled the name of the hone... Shame on me😢. COTICULE it is!!! Better late than never!!!

Le Veinette coticule. Not sure of spelling.

Just honed for very first time with this. Also my very first time honing. Passes hanging hair test. Unfortunately shaved just before so need to wait for some growth before full test. Whoop

Would you guys recommend using another stone after yellow coticule side with just water as finishing stone, or should this be enough?
