WTB Coticule and Belgian Blue Stones

[SolidSnake03]

Hey All!

So this might be a bit of a long shot since they don't seem to be the most popular type of stones around here but wondering if anyone has some Coticules (Ardennes Coticule or otherwise) for sale or Belgian Blue Stones? Interested in trying out some of these stones and hoping someone has some they might be up for parting with. Open to Coticule and or Belgian Blue combo stones as well.

These would be for knife sharpening so ideally something with a bit more workable space in it. Aka not the super small hand hone sized ones for straight razors.

Message me with whatever you got, thanks!

Hi. Have you considered buying from official websites? BBW/coticules are not hard to come by

 

[SolidSnake03]

Sadly I have, I have contacted Ardennes Coticule 3x times now over the past month with zero reply.

Try some of the straight razor sellers. Coticules are well liked in that community. Never used them but Fendrihan has some in stock.

 

[SolidSnake03]

Good suggestion! Thanks! Any recommendations? I honestly know nothing about the straight razor world....

Try etsy. I know nothing about straight razors but there are a number of shops on Etsy that I’ve seen advertising coticules and Belgian blues.

From what I recall, Griffith was regarded as decent - Sharpening
Fendrihan has been around for a while: coticule

I got out the straight razor world a number of years ago. I've a 6x1.5" coticule mated with BBW with a small bout to raise slurry. Haven't tried it on any knives yet.

Thanks guys! I'll look further into those. Greatly appreciate the help on that.

Still open to buying one of anyone in here is selling but I'll check out those options too

Solidsnake,

About 2 months ago, I had the itch to get a Belgian blue and a coticule combo....ordered off esty, seller was Beornidas. It was a Bout 10, like a koppa. About 100$. Shipping took awhile, but holey bloody hell......it's a seriously awesome polisher....put an edge on my zdp...that I am still bleeding from.

You won't be dissapointed.

Thanks all! Have a few things coming my way for this. Picked up a BBW from Griffith, great site and sellers, super friendly and quick responses to questions and will lap/flatten for free if you want.

Anyhow looking forward to trying it. Have a bout 8 coticle heading to me too. Interesting to know they perform well on even that high of hardness/wear resistance steel like zdp 189. Thanks!
