    Default Awesome coticule

    Coolest coticule I have come across in a long time. Early kid gloves tests seem to indicate that it is very seriously fine, and not just fine for a coticule Name:  20160901_162626.jpg

    Most interesting cuticle I have seen in a long time, wouldn't mind taking it for a test run.

    That ain't a coticule, it is a Heath bar with the chocolate licked off ...........

    That is probably the prettiest coticule I've seen. Be careful with it. They always glue them onto a backing because they break easily.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    It came in an oil caked box. I was hoping for some nice salm or lorraine backing and the coticule just never stopped coming out. Remarkable.

    Only test so far was some halfstrokes on water on each side with the same ruined engstrom I put to every new rock to check for speed/anything toxic. Last thing it was on was a nice knife grade charnley, you can see the border of improvement from the side with the dark wave on the surface. It's treetopping arm hair again... I have a nos wester manganese and some other excellent test fodder to give this a proper shakedown in my honing queue. 8" x very slightly under 1 1/4" honing surface. Should be awesome for a wedge.Name:  20160901_171941.jpg
