Another question from me on coticules as I save my pennies and am getting close to being ready to pull the trigger on a coti.
I hear 4 terms that are used most often with cotis 1)Fast 2)Slow 3)Soft 4)Hard. I thought I was getting a handle on how they were related: Hard stones sharpen slow but give crisper/sharper final edges. Soft stones sharpen faster but give mellower/less sharp edges.
Is this a correct general assumption or am I *** backwards ? Is there a general rule to coti hardness and speed of sharpening and final edge result ? If so please enlighten me.
I have already been provided by you fine gentlemen with a link to general characteristics of the different veins so that is not neccesary.
Thanks
