Sharpening Stones

Sharpen tools on your bench top. Use these sharpening stones with a water-soluble or oil-based lubricant.

Straight Rectangular Stone—For Straight Blade Edges


Single Grit	Two Grit

Three Grit

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

Diamond Abrasive—Our hardest, longest lasting abrasive. These stones quickly sharpen any blade material. They don’t need lubrication—use them dry or with water. Rinse with water to clean.

Aluminum Oxide Abrasive—Aluminum oxide cuts more slowly than silicon carbide for finer control. Also known as India stones.

Ceramic Alumina Abrasive—Extremely hard and wear resistant, these stones sharpen your hardest blades. They cut hard materials slower than cubic boron nitride (CBN) and diamond for finer control.

Oil Filled—No need to stop and clean these stones as you polish—they’re filled with oil to keep debris from getting stuck in their pores. You’ll also need an oil-based lubricant to wash away debris and reduce friction and heat on your workpiece.

Antislip Feet—Keep the stone in place to maintain a steady angle while you sharpen.

Handheld Diamond Sharpening Stones


Style A	Style B	Style C

Style D	Style E	Style F

Style G	Style H	Style J

Style K

Hold these stones with one hand to sharpen your blade at any angle. Our hardest and longest-lasting abrasive, diamond quickly sharpens blades of any material. Use these stones dry or with water. Rinse with water to clean.

Full Dimple Coverage


Style A	Style B

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.

Without Dimples


Style C	Style D	Style E

Style F	Style G	Style H

Style J	Style K

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.

Styles C, J, and K—Fold the sharpening end into the handle for compact storage.

Diamond Sharpening Compounds

Convert leather and wood surfaces into sharpening stations to give your tool a fine finish. These compounds contain diamond abrasive grains, which are hard, fast cutting, and long lasting. They're used on leather strops and other flat surfaces to sharpen straight blades. To sharpen curved blades, you can also use these compounds on curved surfaces.

Pastes

Start with pastes for sharpening—sequence them by grit to refine the edge progressively.

Sharpening Stones with Oil Reservoir

Rotate the stone to use three different grit surfaces. The reservoir in the base keeps them clean and oiled. First sharpen your blade with a lower grit, then sharpen again with progressively finer (higher) grits until the desired edge is achieved.

Water-Activated Sharpening Stones

Sharpen cutting edges faster and with less pressure than standard stones. Instead of applying a lubricant, add a few splashes of water to form an abrasive slurry. The slurry removes imperfections efficiently, exposing fresh grit as it forms.

For duller blades, sharpen with multiple stones, moving from coarser to finer grits. Use 220 grit to smooth away damage, 500 grit for the initial pass, 1200 grit for polishing, and 1400 grit for an ultra-fine, mirror-like finish.

Add a mat to catch the slurry and keep your work area clean.

Diamond Sharpening Compound Assortments

Keep multiple abrasive grain sizes on hand to sharpen blades. Convert leather and wood surfaces into sharpening stations to give your tool a fine finish. These compounds contain diamond abrasive grains, which are hard, fast cutting, and long lasting. They're used on leather strops and other flat surfaces to sharpen straight blades. To sharpen curved blades, you can also use these compounds on curved surfaces. Start with the largest abrasive grain size, then move to smaller sizes to sharpen your blade to a progressively finer edge.
