The Belgian whetstones from Ardennes Coticule are found in the Belgian Ardennes since 1625. The whetstones from Ardennes Coticule are also known as Belgian chunks, named after the chunks of stone required for the production of the Coticule and the Belgian blue whetstone. Both products are real natural products with a labour-intensive mining process.
Coticule and Belgian Blue Whetstone (BBW)
The Coticule is a yellow stone supplied on a (unusable) slate.
BBW contains fewer grenades than the Coticule and they are larger. The stone is harder and sharpens slower than the Coticule.
The sharpening result obtained with both stones is almost identical.
Because they are natural products each stone is unique.
