Hey all, I've been trying out some King hones lately, and have found them to be rather slow cutters. With some money coming in next month, I've decided that I'd like to buy a natural hone along the lines of a Coti, something that can both cut fast with a slurry to set a bevel, and then polish without a slurry to get that final shave-ready edge. I'd also like to get a decent sized coti (6 or 7 inches by 2 at least), so I don't end up fiddling around with a 5x 1.5 sliver of stone.
Can people please recommend the best good cheap place to buy large cotis from? Living in NZ, EBay is not an option, and being an impoverished student price is always a factor.
Thanks in advance,
Tom
