The way coticule is cut is like this: rectangles are cut out of slabs, the "leftovers" (as this makes up the bulk of their production of yellow coticules) turn into irregular shaped 'bouts' and the smaller leftovers turn into slurry stones.

I was wondering about your measurement there, 1.5"x8.5". I'm guessing you meant cm, not inches. I have a 2.2x10cm coticule. I have done full dilucots and unicots with it, but it is a bit tricky. For finishing though it works just fine with no issues, although it requires a steadier stroke than with a bit wider stones. I occasionally use it as a slurry stone, but mainly for touch-ups (as it is a La Petite Blanche with very minor auto-slurrying properties, it is ideal for that - it sharpens a bit as well).

I use to have a 1.5x8cm slurry stone, pretty much the same thing. I gave it away to someone who needed a slurry stone, though. You only need one slurry stone .
