    Default Old coticule stones

    Hello,

    I present you some old Belgian colticule hones, those stones are extremely slow with or without slurry, but they give an excellent result.

    1) First one : a green/grey color

    I see they have no backing stones. Be careful!

    Hello DZEC,

    Yes I think those stones are "Bouts Rustiques" like this http://www.coticule.be/coticule-samp.../items/28.html

    We can read :

    "Bouts Rustiques" are made from chunks of raw Coticule that are floating around everywhere at the quarry. Coticule rock is normally extracted by blasting large blocks from the massive rock. These massive blocks are then divided in manageable pieces with aid of a large motorized diamond stone saw.
    But all this industrial activity also scatters fragments of rock that are lying around in the quarry everywhere. Every now and than, all chunks that look to contain a nice hone are collected and turned into usable hone. By their nature, the finished hones have a distinct "Fred Flintstone" appearance. There are generally also quite thick, with no slate or BBW attached.

    when i bought them they looked like this.
