Very few coticules are capable of giving edge , near thuringian . I have 2 of them already but every thuri gives a dream edge .
You are lucky, Rusen - I must have gone through 50 - 100 vintage coticules that all gave a 'mushy' edge (I suspect others call this smooth) before I got one I really liked - a Les Latneuses hybrid, creamy yellow one side, veined grey/blue and yellow on the other and hard as glass. Cost an arm and a leg, though.

Luckily, I have the means to sell-on hones. I have a number of thuringians that are not labelled - all extremely good, and an Escher, which is on a par with most if not all of the unlabelled ones, perhaps a bit more refined but it is hard to tell.

Regards,
