This hone is now for sale.

Ok, I've been down the Post Office, holding a box that looks like it should house a pair of duelling pistols!
But, it doesn't, It holds John Holmes...!
I ask the lady if I can use her scales and...

If I had to pay 'full-wack' for a Coticule, and had the funds I'd go for a 3x8 or longer Coticule/BBW combo. Or a really nice single coticule.
I think a hone that is wider than your longest blade...

I spoke to Rob at Ardennes Coticule a couple of weeks ago. He said "a Coticule of this size is rare, if he was to have one for sale at this sort of size it would be at least 400 Euros".
If you...

As the lady from the 'Carry on' film said "But I hardly know you!!";)

Any bugger would do, just someone to look at it, run a razor over it and post what they think for all to see would be nice.
If I could get to Birmingham I'm sure a few members could give a good...

right my kitchen scales go to to 3kg, the hone went well over and showed as 'err'
So, I put my ganite pestle on it, it was 2650g.
I can only guess but, I'd say it about a third heavier. I'm going...

Good call. I'll just find a battery for our kitchen scales.

Coticule.:D
It's a VW NewBeetle tdi pd.
The ECU needs to be coded to the car to work, it may not be the ECU....either:rant:
It's a TDi, there aren't that many about and I can't chance a spanner...

Nice one.:D
Just got some bad news though, the ECU on my Bug may need replacing $2k+ to replace.
You win some you loose some I guess?
I'm going to to turn a junker razor into a toothpick on the...

Cheers Poona, I think it is quite a hard stone(coticule side). I've rubbed it with my natural bout and it takes a little effort to get a slurry going, so it's more of a polisher I think.
My small...

Well, I wish you the best of luck, excuse me if I don't hold my breath though, the only one I've heard of anywhere near my John Holmes's size is owned by a gentleman member here named Gugi (I think),...

It's 100% BBW on the obverse (if that can apply to hones?)
It is exactly the same as my little natural combo bout.
Did you look at the shop link?
Ive posted the lump in Hones, Show and Tell and...

Damn, I should be nun2sharp ;)

I was thinking of 'winding-up' Howard perfectedge. I was going to ask him if he'd lap both sides for $5 :roflmao
He might quickly re-jig his pricing when he saw it:D
It took two of us to lap it,...

I'm not gloating - honest, I'm just completely stoked with the rock.
Untill it arrived I though "I'm bound to have read the description wrong or the description is wrong, it's probably 12x4 cm not...

Hi, some more pictures of 'John Holmes' for you.
Can you see the cloud on the top right of the coticule?
On the last picture, showing the corner of the blue surface you can see where a fault or...

I've picked it up so many times today to stare at it my arms are hurting:roflmao

Thats what my wife said - I wish:(

With 12 inches:D:D:D:D:D:Dx2

I was so cheap, I HAD to have it.
You couldn't get a 6x2 for what I paid for it. And it's 4 good 6x2 natural combo's in effect.
I need a coffee table too, I could just put four legs onto the blue...

Cheers Jimmy, I semi-lapped the rock, my kitchen now looks like I've murdered a ton of Blueberries.

I just got this Rock today.
It's a Belgian Coticule/Blue Natural Combo, it's 12 inches long, 4 inches wide,1 1/2+ thick.
It came in a fitted varnished wood box.
It was CHEAP ! I think it is quite...
