Thread: Just ordered coticule....

Maybe its just me and I have a different perspective on this but does it make sense to try to fit a Coticule into a full progression of Shapton stones? If you start on your Shaptons and will finish on them, I don't see the point. Instead, I would be more interested in finishing stones. If you end up finishing it on your Shapton, I don't think you'll detect much difference between the Coticule honed edge vs. any other. OTOH, if you intend to shave off of the Coticule edge you'll see a difference. Whether its an improvement from your 30k is something you'll have to find out. But I don't think I'd bother trying to fit it in between your 1k and 30K.
