For an effective polishing tool, the Belgian Yellow Coticule 6x1.5”, Standard Grade is what you'll need.

FEATURES

Use wet or dry or wet with a slurry
8000 grit (without a slurry), 6000 grit (with a slurry)
Slurry sold separately
Splash stone with water before use
User friendly and suitable for beginners
Non-porous stone that does not require pre-soaking
The difference between the standard and select grade coticules lies only in their appearance. Both stone grades have identical sharpening qualities.

TO USE

Very hard stone (harder that most artificial wet stones) but will still need lapping before first usage and from time to time.
To lap: Use a lapping stone (i.e DMT-8C 325 coarse diamond sharpening stone or Norton Lapping Stone) or with sandpaper on a very flat surface (i.e. glass).
Tip: the long edges of the stone should be rounded slightly with a lapping stone or sandpaper. This way the risk of denting the blade in a normal honing motion across the stone is greatly reduced.
