    This one is my favorite now.

    (thanks to disburden unloading it on the S&S last year).

    A friend also gave me an unused deep rock coticule, but it's a bit coarse. As a pair, they work very well.

    The vintage silk finish linens have all but stopped my honing (only hone once every 3-6 months), and this was the only coticule finisher I had that I kept. Did try to sell it in the S&S a couple of months ago, but fortunately, it didn't sell. I don't think I'll be trying to sell it again.

    Your newest is almost always your favorite, right?

    Or the one you sold but later regretted selling?

    I think I've got the smallest "commercial" coticule ever!

    It's a pin, with a coticule sharf captured in epoxy.

    It measures just below 5/16' - 3/16' with a thickness I guess around 1/64' !

    It is rather difficult to hone though...

    And no, I don't know which layer it is...

    It looks like it needs to be lapped!

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Magnificent!

    In a way it is alike to his quote:
    "advertisements to draw attention...to the Museum. I don't believe in duping the public,
    but I believe in first attracting and then pleasing them."

    The Museum of the coticule...
