Pierre de Pyrennes / BBW combo
What can you guys tell me about this combination stone that ardennes is selling. I just bought a 200x60 to compliment my 200x75 coticule. Just to have all 3 in the collection. A set of all the current stones ardennes is selling. You can tell I'm a hardcore Ardennes Coticule supporter.
So on to the stone. We know what the bbw has to offer. What about the pyrennes. The word is its 1.2k. Have assn a thread at B&B and a blog post on tomonagura about it but not much else. Anyone use this French/Belgian combo?

In my point of view nothing really usable...the stones are too slow. I never understood how they figured out the 1.2k.
Actually the pyrenees stones can be bought on different qualities. I own some vintage ones which were sold from FGBC the company/trademark who sold the Lunes and Special stones. The vintage stones are finer, estimation is around 6k-8k, probably a bit above. It seems that how finer the stone is lapped, the finer is the result they can give.
