Ardennes Select Grade Coticule No.8 Bout

£70.00

A natural yellow “select grade” coticule honing stone from Ardennes Coticule. This high quality natural stone is very hard wearing and, with the right care, should last a lifetime. These are different from the boxed stones we sell in that they are odd shapes but all are 58 – 70 cm², and all are of the same select grade. The price is for one stone only but does include a coticule slurry stone as illustrated. The photograph gives an idea of the shapes.

Ardennes Coticule

Ardennes Coticule

Ardennes Coticule is the trading name of Ardennes SA, a Belgian company which continues the slate quarrying business started in 1869 and is the only producer of the renowned coticule and Belgian blue whetstone.

Coticule

The coticule stones from Ardennes Coticule have a creamy appearance and are affixed to a slate schist. A finer stone than the Belgian blue, the coticule stones we stock are all select grade. If you are comparing with stones from elsewhere please ensure that you are comparing like with like.

Belgian Blue Stone

Two things must ye know about the Belgian blue whetstones. First is that they are blue. And the second? That they are Belgian. [Sorry I must stop watching those Blackadder repeats.]

Slightly coarser that the coticule some will finish on this stone although personally I would follow it with a coticule.
