Prized for honing straight razors, knives, and tools, Coticules combine fast cutting with a fine finish. With appropriate technique and slurry control, they can be used from bevel setting through finishing, or followed by a finer finishing stone according to preference.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffith Shaving Goods","offers":[{"title":"4081","offer_id":67943507755102,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4082","offer_id":67943507787870,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4083","offer_id":67943507820638,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4084","offer_id":67943507853406,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4085","offer_id":67943507886174,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4086","offer_id":67943507918942,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4087","offer_id":67943507951710,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4088","offer_id":67943512277086,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4089","offer_id":67943512309854,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"40810","offer_id":67943512342622,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"40811","offer_id":67943512375390,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"40812","offer_id":67943512408158,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"40813","offer_id":67943512440926,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/2905\/files\/IMG_5004_889d4b8e-c133-4d15-a8f3-0c6dc8f98c34.jpg?v=1794015718","url":"https:\/\/www.griffithshavinggoods.com\/products\/belgian-coticule-bout-size-8-standard-grade-sharpening-stone-choose-your-stone","provider":"Griffith Shaving Goods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
