Thread: Frictionites - other than #00s

Couple of more, so that we can read the stuff on the packages. First pictures were nasty, sorry about that. This one has a picture of the little #00, totally unused. The guy who owns them said he thought he hadn't used the big #00, but it is unfortunately got some cracking in the surface, and it's got metal swarf on both sides of the stone, so someone sharpened a chisel on it. I'll lap that off before I help him unload it.

The coticule, I'm going to keep. It's between that and the super punjab. The coti is a sweet stone, but it is *incredibly* abrasive. It was also unused until I just used it. The super punjab has been tried out by the owner, too, and has a little crazing so I ran a razor across it on the fine side. It's a very nice abrasive, it feels very smooth, but it's not too soft. It's miles better than the two inexpensive razor hones that I have. Lest anyone think I'm taking advantage of the owner by lifting the coti from the bunch (with his permission), I sent him my tormek earlier this year. Most people won't know what that is, but if you do, you'll know that on the best day for the coticule, that's a very fair trade.
