Silicon Carbide Knife Sharpener Sharpening Stone Combination Whetstone Grinding Oil Stone 20cm 120 & 320 Grit
Knives or cutting tools need to be looked after & must be sharpened from time to time. When subjected to wear & tear, through contact with the object being cut or with the chopping board, even the best knife will lose it’s edge eventually. It is not safe to use a blunt knife or tool. A well-used kitchen knife can get nicks and dents in its blade so you will need to revive it with a coarse whetstone.
Whenever you need a sharper blade on your hatchet, axe, knives, machete, garden tools, etc., this sharpening stone will do the job. Both sides have different surface grits - 120 and 320 grit. The 120 grit side for sharpening and the 320 grit side for honing.
This Sharpening Stone is a silicon carbide sharpening stone, 2 sided stone with one coarse grit and one fine grit side. Intended for sharpening all types of edged tools and knives. Ideal size and convenient for bench work.
This dual grit whetstone is finished with a coarse 120 grit which reshapes or repairs your blunt knife. This side removes a lot of material from the knife edge so you should only use it when your knife is blunt. The 320 grit is used for finishing your knife with a sharp cutting edge. Use a slip resistant base so you can pull the blade at a consistent angle.

Stone sharpening is an art, although like all things in life practice & persistence is the key!
A combination sharpening stone is to be used in conjunction with a honing steel, for an optimum edge.
A sharpening stone is used for sharpening tools. It is regarded to be an effective technique practiced commonly for any age. Regardless of having oil stone or water stone, subsequent sharpening and actual preparation are quite easy. The steps given below are to be followed for ensuring efficient and safe sharpening.
When the stone is used dry, it will produce an extremely sharp edge on you tools. Silicon Carbide Stones are very fast cutting and whilst a thin clear oil is usually sufficient, cutting may be tempered by soaking the stone in hot petroleum jelly. Should the stone become clogged, it may be cleaned with petrol or kerosene/paraffin.
First Step: The stone needs to be placed on a damp towel or cloth. They are to be kept on the flat surface to prevent towels and stones from sliding when sharpening.
Second Step: The stone’s coarse side on top is to be started with since it is an effective and fast way of having the knife blade back into the appropriate shape.
Third Step: The stone needs to be lubricated. Some stones may use oil. A recommended lubricant is to be used. Whichever lubricant is selected, after the first use, it is not to be changed. While making use of oils, approved ones for sharpening stones are only to be used. One should avoid using food oils like olive and vegetable oil.
Fourth Step: For applying lubricant, a small line of oil is to be poured on the stone’s middle. The water or oil is to be spread and massaged gently and evenly across the sharpening stone. It is now ready for sharpening.
It should be noted due to the nature of the material all stones have some minor chipping on edges which does not affect the function of the stone, render it faulty or not fit for purpose. Item is new in box and minor chipping on a new stone is normal with this material and grit.
