Norton Knife Sharpener Oil Stone with Medium Grit, India Stone Sharpening Stone, Tool and Knife Sharpener Benchstone

Requiere ser ajustada antes de usar, luego de eso funciona muy bien para un primer desbaste.

Its an oil stone, but use it under a trickle of water to wash away the particles. Fast cutting, clean edge. Only takes a few strokes, then finish with a hone, or at least 4000 grit Japanese water stone.

A great sharpening rock

excellent stone; only wish I could find another like it with fine grit.

Came broken

puts a shaving edge on your blade

Good stone.I didn't buy from here.But was reading reviews and if someone not knowing any better went by what was said on here they wouldn't have a good day.First...use oil on this stone.Water can't float the metal shavings like oil and will clog your stone over time.Two...dont jump from this to a 4000 anything stone.This stone is below 500 grit.So you may wanna hit a 800...1000..1500...2000..first at least 1500 so you don't put so much on a 4000 stone taking out those scratches from this one.

If I could only have one oilstone it would be the fine but this one is still great. I have the coarse as well but I don’t use it because this one is aggressive enough, if I need more I go diamond. Great part of an all oilstone progression ending for me at hard Arkansas.

Afila rápidamente sacando un pulido y agudeza buena, es resistente, e afilado con aceros al carbono duros durante un tiempo con esta piedra y no veo deformaciones ninguna por ahora, contento si señor

Although called a medium, it's pretty much a coarse stone in the broader spectrum of japanese sharpening stones that has offerings from120 grit to 8000-ish grit.If you only care for having a great working edge, with "bite" that just wants to cut and are not interested in mirror polished edges that nobody will ever notice, then this can easily be your only stone for sharpeningkitchen knives and pocket knives.Hard enough to create a good micro bevel if you prefer to go that route and do away with stropping.It's aggressive enough for reasonably fast edge reprofiling.I really like the tactile and audio feedback it has and also the fact that it's so wide, like japanese whetstones.Best used with oil (thin mineral oil/baby oil), it could be used with water in a pinch.It comes acceptably flat and being so hard it dishes out slowly.It can be flattened with the Atoma 140 diamond plate but if you want to keep it feeling fresh and aggressive, it must be conditioned (when the surface becomes glazed with fine metal filings) by lapping it with loose silicon carbide (60-80 grit) on a piece of float glass. That also takes care of flattening it, so diamond plates are not needed at all, actually.The price is right, so I'd say get one.Edit: I reprofiled one of my 5" utility knives today and the Norton India medium was faster than the Atoma 140 diamond plate (that was not even used very much since I bought it).

Tried the cheap ones, no good! This is more a coarse stone as after 5mins I had a new angle on my chizels but couldn't really sharpen it to well as it's just to rough hence why I've bought a 1000/3000. Removing the burr takes half a second.

Great stone, I would like to have fine grit like this as well, but can't find any in UK
