Thread: Is this a coticule?

Really looks like an old vintage coticule.

Those stones belonged to the standard equipment of carpenters and joiners for example in germany in older times. They were used to sharpen chisels and knifes.
Because of their irregular shape and size they are called “Brocken” in german.
Attached you will see a couple of this typical handstones.



The back sides are typically not planed.
