KS100 Bench Stone BE173266
- Ideal for general sharpening of flat wood working tools.
- This combination bench stone has one side fine abrasive and the other side coarse abrasive.
- Start sharpening on coarse and finish with fine side.
- They are oil filled, so all you need to do is add a small amount fine oil before using.These stones cut quickly, the fine side gives your knives or tools a clean, sharp edge.
Good quality knives and 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 chiseled. Even the best blade will lose it's edge eventually. It's never any fun or safe to use a blunt blade do yourself a favour & buy the best. Stone sharpening is an art, although like all things in life practice & persistence is the key! The fastest cutting oil stones are made of Silicon Carbide. The silicon carbide stones made by Norton are called Crystolon stones.
These stones are also labelled fine, medium, and coarse, they are usually Grey in colour. While these stones will not produce an edge as fine as the India stone, the fast cutting makes them ideal for initial coarse sharpening. Because they sharpen quickly, it a common practice to use the Coarse Crystolon Stone and then progress to an India Stone.

Fast cutting stone for general sharpening of cutting tools/knives/shears

Silicon Carbide is preferred for faster stock removal if the knife is chipped or highly blunt whereas Aluminium Oxide is preferred to finish the edge being a slower cutting stone.
