Thread: Coticule

This is something that doesn't get said enough, mostly because so few have been around so long

When these Naturals et al got these AWAESOME reputations it was a different time

We mostly all honed on the Norton 4/8 some of us were very "Cool" and had a Norton 1k
The Norton 4/8 was had for about $80
Eschers and J-nats were had for $#100 -$150
Coticules were around $100 for an 8x3 Select grade Hybrids were slightly more


Keep in mind that Norton 4/8 hones are still had for about $100

The prices of Naturals are Freaking NUTZ!!!! They are simply not that good for that much money


They are awesome finishers not disputing that, but the prices differences are just not in line now

That is my story, and I am sticking to it

I can totally agree with you on that, Glen.

I've been fortunate to have obtained mine thru flea markets, yard sales, and antique shops.

And very fortunate to have been able to trade and barter with a few members for items.

Blue/green barbers gem.
Many O Coties
Few Thurigans
Arks galore
2 J Nats
Barbers hones of all sorts
washitas

All on the cheap, but not including the fuel driving all over my state, and others when I drive thru them and see a antique store.

Their out there, u gotta hunt them down. Not intended for the internet hunt.

Wild rocks...!!!
