Thread: Coticule Jackpot

My Father and a friend of his were at an auction sale last week and his friend bought a box of junk and inside was some old style clippers and there was around 6 sharpening stones. My Dad called me and said to come over and look at the stones and if I wanted any of them I could have them. He said they were in rough shape but I was excited anyways lol. I looked through them and there were two coticules that had separated from the slate backing and one was very badly dished. I took them home and epoxied them back together. once they were dry I lapped them and the badly dished one also had a large flake missing so I had to cut the corner off of it. They turned out great. very nice looking, smooth and buttery. I was very happy. Then my Dad called me back and said he forgot that he had taken one out of the bag and left it on his bench and that it was the nicest one. I quickly went back with my lapping plate and I was the largest of the three and it is a blushing coticule. It's a very pretty stone for sure. All three of them are different and I can't wait to try them out. The dimensions are 50x100, 55x125, and 60x125. Hope you enjoy the eye candy.
