    Yep. That is a coticule.

    errr yeah stupid question!lol.
    perhaps i should ask would this stone be ok to use, i couldn,t see the size or what type it is, probably because i cant read german and it looks like a bargain but you know what they say "if its too good to be true it probably is" but you never know!!!!

    Yes, you can use one to hone razors.
    I have not looked at the price, but you should at least compare with howards offers on www.theperfectedge.com

    I have ordered a thuringer for another member here from the website you linked to, and they were more expensive than howard for shipping. So if their coticules are also more expensive, you will be better off with howard.

    And . . . watch out! They don't say anywhere what the size of the stone is. It goes by weight!!

    It's 15.50 Euros, which is extremely cheap for a coticule. It must be tiny or something different from what Howard sells? I couldn't see a size buried in the German text. Anyone?

    They only say the weight, 180–220 g. My guess is that they're selling the bouts, which are more square/round than rectangular (like the one in the last picture on the manufactum site). For weight reference, I have a ~10 sq.in. (4x18cm) coticule which weighs about 400g.
