Can't speak for everyone and it's still new to me, but I am following the coticule with the 12k to achieve a keener edge. I can get a nice smooth edge on the coticule but it seems the 12k will yield a much sharper edge than I was getting on the yellow coticule. I am not quitting the yellow just going for added sharpness and polish on the 12k.
