Ardennes Coticule 606 Blue Stone 150x50x15 mm.

The Belgian blue whetstone from Ardennes, is mined together with the Coticule and in the same place, this blue stone comes in wide vertical strata with the fine Coticule seams in between. It was formed in the same way and at the same time as the Coticule. The presence of iron oxide in the stone explains the bluish purple colour. Like the Coticule, the extraction is a very time-consuming task and must be carried out very meticulously, without the use of machinery. The Belgian blue whetstone consists of 1 layer with a thickness of between 13 and 16 mm

Measurements: 150 x 50 x 15 mm.

Grit: 4000.

Unlike the Coticule, it comes without a substrate to give it extra strength and is not divided into categories like the Coticule, and there are almost never any surface imperfections. The Belgian Blue whetstone is only produced in rectangular form and due to the deposition of thick strata of sedimentary rock, large sizes are the rule rather than the exception. Production is carried out by traditional methods, and a small tolerance in terms of dimensions is perfectly normal.

Sharpening:

Sharpening always uses water. All that is required is to wet the surface, it is not necessary to immerse the stone. During sharpening, garnets are released from the surface, the more garnets are released, the more abrasive the polishing compound becomes.

A frequently used method of increasing abrasiveness is to use a polishing stone to produce a polishing compound with a high garnet content on the surface of the whetstone. This is done by rubbing the stone with another and the bluish-purple polishing compound is soon produced. For fine honing, the grinding compound is diluted in several stages with a small amount of water until eventually only water remains on the surface.

Belgian Bluestone is a non-porous stone and cannot be clogged. Use only water for sharpening, not oil. Oil is only used with porous stones to prevent iron particles from getting trapped in the pores and clogging it.

Flattening: Place a piece of sandpaper on a flat surface. Put some water on it and rub the stone until it is flat. Use sandpaper with a grit of +/- 80 to 100 microns.

Lifespan depends on use. The more intensive the use, the faster the stone will wear down. In general, our sharpening stones last 20 years under normal use and with minimal care.
