Thread: Why do I need a Coticle?

It is a good Natural finisher, that gives smooth comfortable edges, especially on Sheffield Steel (IMHO & IME) You should be able to find one at way less than $300..

Warning: No two natural stones are alike, that is the allure of natural stones, Synthetics are an exact science, it is either the razor or the hands if you can't get an edge right... Natural stones are a romance, and add a another variable to the honing matrix make sure you understand that when people wax poetic on their natural stone it is their natural stone, it might not be the same as the stone you get (Authentic Labeled Eschers are pretty well exempt from that statement)
