Hello everyone,
Simple question do you think this is a coticule? if not what could it be ?
some background information
six years ago my father died, he was a woodworker. under his workbench there was a bucket full of old tools. some from his grant father who was a cobbler, some he just got from acquaintances.As i started leather working classes 3 years ago, i was searching for tools in his workplace and did found this bucket with awls, knives,.... and this stone.
i didn't care about it as i already had a stone( a 5 dollar oil stone). a few weeks ago i needed a finer stone to sharpen a blade and used this one. i didn't looked like an oil stone so i used water to be on the safe side. and it created as slurry and did hone very smooth. so could this be a coticule? it has some darker spots on the white side.
If you need more info or pictures just ask.
Btw i live in Belgium
Thx in advance
greetings Bert
