Belgian
Blue/Coticule Sharpening Kit
- Belgian Blue and Coticule sharpening
stones are natural-earth stones with unique
sharpening abilities.
Belgian
sharpening stones contain a large percentage
of garnet crystals. Garnet is only third
in hardness behind diamond and corundum.
The crystals are shaped like a soccer
ball which makes them ideal for sharpening.
This
unique shape of the crystals together
with their hardness results in a combination
of fast cutting and fine honing that is
unmatched by other stones.
The
Blue Stone is 4000 grit and composed of
20-30% garnet crystals. It is best suited
for sharpening hunting, fishing and kitchen
knives.
The
yellow Coticule Stone is 8000 grit and
has a garnet composition of 30-42%. The
Coticule is popular with straight-razor
users, woodworkers and knife enthusiasts
who want the very best.
This
kit contains 1-2”x6” Blue
Stone, 1- 2”x6” Coticule and
1 Slurry stone.
