    Shown in Use

    A collection of stones for all your sharpening jobs, from repairing rough edges to adding razor-sharp finishes. A blade holder clamps around your knife to hold it steady as you sharpen. No need to eyeball the sharpening angle—hook the guide rod into the slots on the blade holder to position the stone at four angles. To quickly sharpen the other side of the blade edge, flip the holder over without unclamping the blade.
    For Sharpening Knives
    Aluminum Oxide Abrasive—For fine control over your finish, aluminum oxide abrades slowly. Use it on any blade material.
    Ceramic Abrasive—For use after coarse sharpening, ceramic refines and polishes your blade’s edge. You can also use ceramic to touch up blades that are still somewhat sharp.
    Diamond Abrasive—Our hardest abrasive. Diamond can sharpen any blade material, even hardened steel.
    Lubrication—In addition to the included lubricant, you can add other water-soluble and oil-based lubricants.

    Handheld Sharpening Stone Kits

    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.
