Thread: Polish hone?....

Randy,
That would be why Eschers, etc all look like slate.

Tony

Coticule is also a vein in a slate quarry.
Ardennes Coticule is basically a slate quarry, the coticule is just a side line.

As the Wiki article explained there are many other minerals found in the slate, garnets are just one type that is useful to us. No doubt there are other slate based stones out there not yet in common use for sharpening. Not all will be as fine or fast cutting as Belgians, Eschers or Thuringens and likely why they are not seen as often.

I bought one of those slates too!!!!!



Hope to try it soon!

I only saw it on Ebay. You might contact the seller on Ebay or maybe someone here can help you.

stone is natural, polished and hard, I heard that a long time ago "marmur kielecki" had been used for sharpening a razor

the price will be reasonable
