Arkansas Novaculite vs. Belgian Coticule
Has there been much comparison between the Arkansas Novaculite and the Belgian Coticule?
I see many hones mentioned, but little about the Arkansas Novaculite, which I understand is Latin for razor stone. Yet there is more discussion around the coticule’s and Japanese stones :thinking:
I would suspect these Arkansas Black and Translucent hard stones’ to have characteristics similar to a Belgian Coticule.
Are the Arkansas stones good 'go-to' stones for razors or should they be left to sharpening chisels and knives?
