Did you buy it???!!??
I did...I couldn't just leave that little guy sitting there in that back room. It's a little dished out, so some serious lapping is ahead, but I'll post a picture when it's all cleaned up :)
Nice find!!
Great find!
Thanks fellas...it's about 7" x 1.5" natural combo
There's an awful lot of yellow left - even after lapping.
Nice score.
Its probably going to be a nice razor stone. Most of coticules sold as razor quality back in the old days were that size.
wow...what a score. that coti is going to look stunning once you lap it and clean it up :) I can't wait to see it finsihed up. I love my new coti, im sure you will too lol
ended up having some interesting inclusions...one that i thought might be a crack at first

looking forward to playing with it. :)
Man thats a great score! Did they even know what they had there???
Beautiful box and that Coti. Well scored.
Did you kiss the store owner?:rofl2:
Nice find and did that price tag say $22. If so really nice find.
well, they knew it was a razor box with a sharpening stone...but they didn't let on if they knew it was a natural combination belgian coticule ;) but based on the price i would guess no.Quote:

Oh I would have too...it was one of those "everything in this booth 10% off" deals. There was a little unknown solingen blade, but it was rusted and chipped beyond saving.Quote:
