Coticule shortage?
Does anyone know anything about the "Coticule shortage" mentioned on Howard's "The Perfect Edge" website Home page? MikeB

Since Howard is a member of this forum, it might be best to direct the question to him. Of course, please let the rest of us know what you find out.

No, I'm enquiring here as many are in the know and It is just small inquiry. I don't like bugging him for such a simple inquiry. MikeB

There seems to be no shortage of them here . Both 6"x2" Koshers and the larger and smaller Selected grade are available.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

That's good. I was just afraid the quarry closed or something. I might go for a 6x1 (narrow) for my collection. I'll check with Howard later on as I like to give him my business. Thanks MikeB

I have a couple from Howard and they are as good as they get. Also have a big kosher grade from Ardennes and it is mighty nice too.

I think it's nothing more than that there is a limited supply (like one quarry) so when it's done there's no more unless someone finds another quarry. I got a nice 6X2 yellow coticule from Howard and love it by the way.

A kosher grade hone will be most recognizable because it will be all one color with no veins running through it. It is "unmixed" thus the term kosher. Originally Posted by loueedacat

I know about kosher, but not really coticules, so please someone correct me here if I'm wrong.
