i bought mine cause i figured it was a one stone solution, however it turned out to be apparently be a stone very suitable for finishing (la nouvelle) although it does work from bevel set and up, just not fast..

Can't quite remember. Partly it was because I like naturals. Partly it was because with a modest investment I could do everything with the one stone. Partly it was because of coticule.be.
Whatever the reasons I'm glad I went that direction. Serves me well and is fun.

I wish even that was true. I have very little self control with these little rocks. There was only so long I could fight off thir German and Japanese friends from joining in on the fun.
With the group of stone nuts we have here, a better question might be "What made you buy the second one?" (After that the answer is always the same: Insanity)

I bought mine due to the lure of tradition, and the wonderfull edges they produce. I now have 4. La Dressante, La Grise, La Veinette and my newest (yet to arrive) a 3x8 La Dressante.
Man.....I'm hooked bad.

Just because it's sharp, does not mean it's smooth.

Jon, don't forget there is a huge variance within the veins stone to stone. (Especially with La Dressantes). Don't feel like you can only own one of eace vein.
You're welcome :)

Thanks for the encouragement, and suggestions guys.........buncha *cough*enablers*cough. In all honesty though......if you guys did not try to enable I would think you did not like me anymore.
I will probably be getting at least two more in the future.

Why the excess Matt? After all, you can only use one stone at a time. Originally Posted by hig789
