King Deluxe Waterstone

Description

King Deluxe Waterstone

Waterstones cut very quickly, offer a large range of grit sizes, and are pleasantly inexpensive.Our bench stones offer unusually large surfaces, wider than most plane irons and long enough for very efficient sharpening with or without a honing guide.

All our waterstones are man-made; their abrasive is sieved for accurate grit size and freedom from impurities, and the bonding process is very carefully controlled to ensure consistently reliable performance.Medium and fine stones are relatively soft, which means that every stroke of a tool exposes fresh, sharp gritand quickly builds an abrasive slurry which is a key ingredient in the stones’ excellent performance.Their fast wear rate (don’t be overly concerned about “fast”, it means most waterstones probably won’t last more than five to twenty years depending on use), together with their very hard, sharp aluminum oxide abrasive makes for extremely effective sharpening on even the hardest tool steel.
