Thread: What coticule to buy for a smooth edge?

I had loads over the years and I found some were just easier than others I had lots of la veinette and found some of that popular vein to be just as frustrating as other coticule even though my favourite is a standard grade LV. As for keenness if you can get a nice hybrid coticule they produce a keen smooth edge. Like someone mentioned the welsh slate can make and has for me produce a keener edge for those tough spots. I did feel the edge of the welsh slate was a tad more crisp but nice 👍

They all should do that, but I think the most easily accessible/mined vein that does that currently is possible the La Grise layer
