A hone that size was likely made for tools. I’m super curious what edges you will be able to produce. Still a great find even if it is not extra fine.
Why do you say it is not extra fine... it looks really fine !
Perhaps I did not express myself well.
There is a chance that a tool hone will not be as fine as a razor hone. They did manufacture them for many different markets with different quality levels specific for those markets. As a tool hone it may not be as fine as one intended for razors. There is no way to look at and tell if it is 6K to 10K, you need to lap it and try it. If it is a 6K tool hone it is still a great find, if it is a 10K extra fine hone suitable for finishing razors, it’s a crazy find.
OK thanks all is clear now :)
Great find. Post some pics when it’s cleaned up / lapped please. It probably is, but I’m not 100% convinced it’s a coti based on those pics.
Hum i'm not a specialist... more a collector.Quote:

Hard to say until it’s been cleaned up.Quote:

That is big. Though in the coticule museum I've seen one that was 3 cm thick, 12 cm wide and about 60 cm long or something like that. :D
I was thinking the same thing. At first, it struck me as possibly being what we on the American forums like to call a "sud-ouest" stone.Quote:

Well they are still out there...difficult to find though. This mine , most likely a La VeinetteAttachment 328672

Here is my last find. This one is for sure a coti, but needs to be cleaned too...

That’s a very large coti.
