Thread: A Deep Rock Hone that might be NOS

So I found this on the bay today and thought it should come home with me. It looks NOS to me. I would appreciate any experiences anyone has had with these. Also, if anyone knows that the “60” stamp on it means I would appreciate it.

Thanks!

I am not an expert on coticule identification , but it looks like the vein of coticule you have resembles a " La Latneuse "

Great looking stone you have. I am sure it will deliver the goods.

Remember when you were in school? A 60 was D- or F which means fail. You really should just send it to me I can use it as a paving stone on my patio.

Har har

Very nice! Plan on using it?

Beautiful stone. What are the dimensions? Maybe it's 60mm across?

Thanks for the comments everybody! I haven’t decided if I’m going to use it, but I most likely will. It looks too good to pass up.

It very well may be that the stone is 60mm wide. I’ll be sure to measure once I get it.

If you have never used a Coticule before check out the videos at www.coticule.be/home.html and gssixgun (Glen) at Gem Star Customs.

I’ve used many. I was asking about this specific brand.

One of our generally inactive members, CJBianco, has one of those in SuperFine (or some similar stamp) grade. I honed a Wade and Butcher on it recently, and got a killer edge, velvet smooth, with no trouble at all. I told him that I want the right of 1st refusal if he ever decides to sell it.

Maybe I can get him to post it on here.

I also have a vintage Coticule with a number stamped on the side, 63, but it has nothing to do with its' dimensions
