Designed for profiled carving tools, gouges and chisels, these water stones are made from Corundum, a synthetic aluminium oxide abrasive, selected for its slow rate of wear, releasing fresh, sharp abrasive at a reduced rate. The abrasive particles break down and dull during sharpening, allowing you to move seamlessly from a coarse to a fine grit stone.

FULL DESCRIPTION
These multi-profile Japanese water stones are designed for sharpening wood carving chisels, gouges and other fine tools with profiled blades. The stones feature both convex and concave radii profiles for in-cannel and out-cannel sharpening of gouges and V tools. The rear of the stone is flat to allow for the sharpening of straight edge tools such as skew and bevel edge chisels. These water stones are man-made from Corundum, a synthetic aluminium oxide abrasive, set in a resin bond. The finish that you achieve with a water stone is a combination of the particle size, durability of the abrasive and the resin bond strength. These water stones have a medium strength bond and wear relatively slowly, releasing fresh, sharp abrasive at a reduced rate in comparison to stones with weaker bonds that release abrasive at higher rates and wear down more quickly.

The water stone formulation is excellent for sharpening O1 general tool steel, a steel commonly used to make knives, and are fast cutting when sharpening tough alloys such as A2 and M2 high speed steels which are used to manufacture chisels, plane irons, turning and carving tools. You simply immerse the stones in water and allow to soak for 3 to 5 minutes, at which point they are ready for use. It is important to ensure the water stone retains moisture during the sharpening process. The fresh abrasive particles break down and dull during the sharpening process, creating progressively finer grits, allowing you to move seamlessly from a coarse 1000 grit stone, to a medium 2000 grit stone to the fine 3000 grit stone for mirror finishing. After use leave the water stone to dry out naturally.


This 2000 grit water stone is used after the 1000 grit stone to refine the edge prior to mirror finishing and final polishing with the 3000 grit water stone. The stone measures 180mm in length with a width of 60mm and a depth of 16mm. ©

Excellent Product

Perfect for any wood carvers. I checked all the blades I have in my wood carving kit and there isn’t a single item that cannot be sharpened on these stones. As someone new to woodcarving, trying to reproduce repeatable sharp edges was an issue, now resolved and having the three grades I can’t see too many occasions when I’ll need to get the big machine out for sharpening. Good value for money, brilliantly packaged and well designed. I’d buy the.m again.

I use these water stones on a daily basis to put an edge back on my carving tools. Soak in a bath of water for no longer than two minutes and away you go. Be careful not to apply too much pressure as the stones are quite soft and you can leave grooves.
