Thread: Blue/Yellow Belgium? Or a Coticule?

My friend Helge picked this rock up for me over there in Germany and I started learning it and found it gave a nice edge/especially to the Sheffield razors that reside here.

Helge refers to it as a 'Belgium Yellow Blue'.

However my honing experience is minimal compared to many others such as my friend GSSIXGUN so I sent it to him for evaluation. I got a good report back and Glen referred to my little hone as a 'Coticule'.

However I believe he like I had just used the 'Yellow' side of the hone.

The 'Blue' is actually more of a really deep purple/almost black.

I was wondering what others With Experience with a similar hone could tell me about the 'Blue' side/bevel setting perhaps with some slurry?

Here's some pics of the rock;







Thanks for taking a look and a Special Thanks for those that have similar rocks who join in.:
