These are the two thickest I’ve had. The hybrid stone I gifted to a fellow forum member, it was something like 28mm thick. This one is a small chunk, and In this instance the thickness is justified as it is just “as is” when it was likely a mine offcut

The thickest I currently own is this at 25mm solid coti, it makes no sense to me that this would have been sold as a solid piece.
It seems to be a dressante with part of the upper layer present, it’s a rock hard stone and you’d never wear through 1/4” of it in a lifetime of razor honing. So I can’t fathom why it wouldn’t have been cut into at least 2 slices especially since its a big stone.

As for stone in that video..... it would have made at least 5 good slices!? If that came from ardennes it must have cost a fortune
Good looking stone @Ganko , Mine has the characteristics of several different veins. It is nearly impossible to accurately identify the vein of vintage Coti’s. I am just content when I find a vintage hone, it is of a razor finishing quality that delivered a keen, smooth edge

Don’t know about the logo, but that is one of the coolest cotis I’ve ever seen. Every stone should be used, but that logo is so unique...
Beautiful stone, Tim. That logo is a new one to me as well.
What a great video, even with my terrible French. I’d never seen that one before.Wow.
