Some of the interest for the coticule is it being thought as the stone of choice for the heavy sheffield grind. Today I hear from a retailer (forgoing a sale in the process - so kudos for not just going for the sale) that only the harder veins will withstand the heavy sheffield. He recommended either La Veinette or Le Petit Blanche. The possibility of chipping or cracking the softer stones was mentioned. I've not heard anything like this. If this is the case, not just any coti will do. Is this common thinking amongst the coti users?
