    Shallow dimples collect debris to prevent clogging the sharpening surface. These stones are a good choice for blade edges with defects that require heavy material removal. They also reduce friction and heat to protect delicate blades while you sharpen.
    Styles A and B—Fold the sharpening end into the handle for compact storage.

    The dimple-free surface sharpens blades evenly every time. Since these stones have the most abrasive, they also remove material more quickly. However, debris can build up rapidly, so you’ll need to wipe them clean more often.

    Stones of different shapes, grits, and materials add a razor-sharp edge to virtually any blade. The holder fits two stones at once, so it’s easy to pivot your blade across both of the stones. To protect unused stones, store them inside the holder. When you’re not sharpening, store the entire holder inside the handle.
    The diamond stones are the hardest and longest-lasting we offer. They quickly sharpen blades of any material. Use ceramic after a coarser stone or to touch up blades that are already sharp. The leather-coated stones (strops) create a polished edge after you sharpen with other materials. Start with the suede leather to remove microscopic burs, then sharpen with the smooth leather to refine the edge.
