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 are the largest water stones that we offer measuring 200mm in length by 80mm in width and 30mm in depth. The large surface area aids the sharpening performance, allows for the sharpening of wide plane blades and offers extra support for honing guides when sharpening chisels and knives. These Japanese combination water stones are man-made from Corundum, a synthetic aluminium oxide abrasive, set in a resin bond. Combination stones consist of two stones of different grits which are machine-fused together to create a permanent joint, allowing you to rotate the stones to select the most appropriate grit. The finish that you achieve with a water stone is an amalgamation 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 grit stone, to a medium grit stone to a fine grit stone. After use leave the water stone to dry out naturally, before using a diamond flattening stone to re-level the face of the water stone. These combination stones sit in a polymer base which has four no-mar rubber feet to prevent the stone from wandering during the sharpening process whilst protecting the work surface from scratching. These combination stones come with a 60mm x 20mm wide mini-flattening stone for reshaping the surface of the stone.

This combination water stone is 1000 grit and 6000 grit. The 1000 grit stone is the fastest cutting stone and is used to remove nicks before sharpening and to shape and establish a basic edge and the 6000 grit water stone is used to remove burr, polish and hone. ©

Superior sharpening

This is a heavy, well made stone. It is secure in its plastic holder at an angle which makes sharpening easier on my arms. The inclusion of a flattening stone which fits in its own holder is brilliant as they are easy to lose in the clutter of a (my) workbench!. The stone arrived quickly and well packaged and the faces are very flat. Well worth the money in my opinion, I have tried cheaper stones which turned out to be a waste of money. I only wish Rutlands sold a 16000 grit stone.

After starting with scary sharp and glass plates, and months of reading reviews and advice etc. I bit the bullet and bought these 2 double sided stones. I went for the 200 x 80 (8x3) so I could easily sharpen my widest plane iron. I spent an afternoon sharpening all of my plane irons and a new set of chisels. The cutting is very fast and the results are simply amazing! My planes can now cut those 1 thou shavings and my chisels are super, super sharp; my dovetail work has ben taken to the next level. Fantastic Stones!!

Really well packaged stones, I had ordered from another company previously where the stones arrived chipped - no chance of that happening with these as they are supplied in a solid cardboard box and have been wrapped in protective foam

A good size suitable for wider plane irons. Worked really well after soaking for about 10 minutes. I bought them because I wanted to keep my expensive big-name brand Japanese stones for best. The finish left by these is easily as good and the price for four grits makes this an unmissable deal.
