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.
