SHARPENING 1500 GRIT 7 INCH JAPANESE WATER STONE BO182

Description: JAPANESE WATER STONE Japanese Bench stone. Fine (1500 grit) (Fine is a relative term not to be compared with the same term used on other styles of stone). For honing a very sharp edge on the blade. 7" x 2" x 3/4". The stones consist of a water soluble matrix - by wetting the stone before use, fresh sharpening particles are permanently exposed during the sharpening process, which creates maximum sharpening ability. Japanese water stones are a traditional sharpening tool used to grind and renew the tips of knives, scissors, and industrial tools like saw blades. Water stones are composed of silicate and clay, and are often favored over artificial sharpening tools by artists and woodworkers. Unlike Western man-made stones, water rather than oil is used on Japanese stones to prevent the surface from being clogged with metal particles. Residue from the coarser stone should be wiped from the tool prior to polishing with a finer grit stone to avoid transferring the coarser grit. Japanese water stones are softer than Western styles causing a fresh, sharp surface to be continually exposed to the tool edge. Wet the stone before using. Since the oilstone is another type of sharpening tool, it's important to distinguish between them. Using oil on a water stone will destroy its sharpening value. Soak the stone in water for 20 to 30 minutes before use. Run the knife or other implement along the water stone at an angle. A burr (a tiny indentation) forms after the steel is ground down. Use a finer stone to polish the blade and eliminate the burr. Flatten your water stone to prolong its use. After many uses, a water stone loses its shape and its sharpening ability. Place the stone on a plastic surface and rub it with gritty sandpaper. If you have never used Water Stones before you may want to do some reading on how to use and maintain them.
