Thread: Found a Coti in the wild yesterday (pic heavy)

Just honed on it for the first time and it was very different than my other two cotis. It felt sort of gummy, (not exactly gummy but I can't think of a better descriptor.), with much more of a draw over the 3/4 of the stone where the inclusions are more pronounced. Even though it feels perfectly smooth to touch. I looked at the edge under a loupe after about 120 strokes and it looked fine with no micro chips despite the gummy/gritty feeling. So I continued on with dilucot checking the edge a few more times and still it looked good. Finished the dilucot, the gummy feeling wasn't as noticeable on plain water btw, then stropped 60 on linen and 80 on leather and had one hell of a smooth shave. I'll have to hone a few more razors on it to really see how good it is but I'm pretty pleased so far, and definitely intrigued. It also seems now that the blueish lines are much more reflective to light than I noticed before. Not sure what the inclusions might be. I took a few pics to try and show how reflective they are.
