Call me old fashion but I really like this 8x3" size la dressante.
Note the tiger stripes in pink.

Still in debt to Jon for this stone...love it.

i cut a slurry stone down the other day and thought about the grooves in it but i kinda forgot to do it ..lol..thats on my to do list ...lol
id imagine it makes it a lot easier ??

I find its easier on harder stones. I used the edge of my dmt plate to make the grooves.

thats a great idea !!
i was gonna run a cutting wheel across in some quick swipes , but i like the dmt edge idea better .. thanks !!

For those fast coticules I'd recommend the fasticot method. It's like the ellipticot with diluticot, but just staying on the undiluticot side of the circlicot. Of course, you can use nagura on it as well - we call that the Jnaticot method.

I remember working w/ the guys on the coticule site, and with great kindness, they recommended a way for me to work around an arm injury that makes it a challenge to keep my elbow/forearm level with the stone. The suggestion was to rest my elbow on the side of the tub in the bath. 'Sounds funny, but was really very kind. It then became known as the 'bathicot' method.

You hone while taking a bath ??
