Sharpening Stones
Sharpening stones (also named grindstones or whetstones) are used for sharpening cutting tools. A major application is the fine grinding or fine sharpening of tool blades such as the cutting edge of a knife (sharpened part of the blade).
Therefore, our sharpening stones differ in shape, composition and dimensions depending on the application.

Best components guarantee a good polish
The sharpening stones consist of synthetically produced crystals. The abrasive grains used are aluminium oxide / corundum (white aluminium oxide) and silicon carbide. Corundum is the crystalline form of the ceramic oxide aluminium oxide (Al 2 O 3). The white aluminium oxide is very hard and extremely splintery and is therefore very suitable as an abrasive.
The stones are fired at 1,350 degrees Celsius and contain no organic substances. The combination stones are assembled from 2 parts and glued with a 2-component adhesive or both sharpening sides are pressed in one piece.
The sharpening stones can be used either with water or with oil. However, after using oil it is no longer possible to use them with water afterwards. Further instructions for use and more information on the various grain types and bonds can be found in our grinding knowledge section.
