Sharpening stones hone blades to razor sharpness. Waterstones cut quickly and polish edges, oil stones offer durability and diamond stones provide fast, flat sharpening. Maintain your chisels, knives and plane irons for optimal performance.
What is the difference between water stones, oil stones, and diamond stones?
Water stones use water as a lubricant and cut quickly, oil stones use honing oil and are more durable, and diamond stones have an abrasive diamond coating that sharpens fast and stays flat over time. The choice depends on the tools you’re sharpening and your preferred maintenance style.
How do I know which grit sharpening stone to use?
Coarse grits (200–600) repair dull or damaged edges, medium grits (800–2000) refine and sharpen, and fine grits (3000+) polish for a razor edge. Many people use a combination of grits for the best results.
How should I care for and store my sharpening stones?
Keep them flat by occasionally lapping them, clean off metal filings after use, and store in a dry place. For water stones, let them dry completely before storage to avoid cracking or mould.
