Thread: Why do I need a Coticle?

Don't listen to these guys.

You know what happens when folks have something that's so wonderful, well...they want to keep it all for themselves so they dissuade you from getting one.

The fact of the matter is the coticule is the best honing stone in the world and you must buy one. Not only that but if you buy one you can do it all with it so you never have to buy another stone ever again. If you don't believe me, why I remember an article in Consumer Reports a year or so ago comparing honing stones and they gave the coticule a best buy and said nothing else even touches it. Not only that but it's the only stone that Bear guy on T.V would ever use out in the wilds. It's also the official honing stone of Lichtenstein (I bet you didn't know that did you? It's even on their state seal) I knew a guy who loved them so much he would grind one up into fine powder and sprinkle it on his frosted flakes for breakfeast each morning. He told me it gives him a sharp wit.

So once you buy yours give me a call. This month I'm selling shares in a small bridge I have ownership to in N.Y.C

Seriously though, it's a good stone, I have one but there is no magic in it.

I have a Coti, there is a serious learning curve to it. I have not yet leaned its secrets yet so I still utilize my synthetics when I get frusterated.

This is very very true... It took me a long time to learn mine.

So true, and I'm still trying to learn my coticules.

"Consumer Reports" I love it.

Now you've piqued my curiosity. Did you buy the coticle first, or the bridge?
