Thread: Looking for info on a speckled Coti

Evening gents, found a little 5"x1" on Ebay and due to a single picture (below) and vague description, I got a pretty sweet deal on it.

What I would like to know is if anyone has used a coti that looks similar to this and can comment on how it performs.

From the bay:


Coti side Dry



Coti side wet


backing dry


backing wet


from the side you can see a layer that runs almost perfectly horizontal all the way around the backing stone.


As always, thanks for any info!

Here is mine & I love it. for now it has replaced my Shapton 16 as my go to finisher. I also have a 1 inch coticule slurry stone to go with it.

That looks nice, and nice score on the 5 x 1 I think I missed a couple of those this week because I ran out of funds, well I already have one, AND don't you have one already also!??! lol

yeah I have one that is part of a four sided strop, but I think it may remain a display piece. Only because I don't want to get water or slurry all over the adjacent leather. So this little one is now my primary cotIcule. Although I could still use a larger one, and a natural combo, and maybe some bouts...

I feel you, I have 1 coticule I just started using and the smoothness from it is amazing I didn't think I could get an edge so smooth with my meager honing skills. I have 2 more coticules on the way, I'm going to try them all and maybe I'll sell off 1 of them and keep the 2 I like more. Next I'm going to lap the thuringian and see how that feels.

I now have 3 Coticule stones, each and every one of them behaves differently. 1 i have just lapped off and is a fairly quick cutter, makes its owns slurry and you can see a swarf build right away, 1 I have yet to get lapped, the last is a very slow cutter and can produce a really nice polish.
I really like your new stone Twisted

I've never seen one with that speckled and bright quality of the pink bits. IME pink in a coticule makes for a fast cutter. Cool looking stone.
