Handheld Diamond Sharpening Stones


Style C	Style D	Style E

Style F	Style G	Style H

Diamond is extremely hard and long lasting. No lubricants needed—use these stones dry or with water. Rinse with water to clean.

Without Dimples


Style C	Style D	Style E

Style F	Style G	Style H

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.

Style H—Styles B and H fold into the handle.

Handheld Sharpening Stones

Grip by hand and sharpen tools at the angle you need.

Straight Rectangular Stone—For Straight Blade Edges

Two Grit—A different grit on each side enables two-step sharpening with one stone. First sharpen your blade with a lower grit, then sharpen again with a finer (higher) grit until the desired edge is achieved.

Boron Carbide—Boron carbide lasts up to 10 times longer than silicon carbide. These stones have a magnifier built into the handle.

Silicon Carbide Abrasive—Silicon carbide cuts quickly with light pressure. Also known as Crystolon stones.
