Bench Stone – UltraFine / 3″ x 8″ x ¼”

Spyderco’s 3” X 8” ultra-fine ceramic benchstone is flat, thin and ultra smooth for professionally finishing and sharpening wide tools like chisels, large blades, wood-working equipment, plane irons, even ski and snowboard edges. Made from Alumina Ceramic, it is manufactured in the United States using a process where a binding agent is combined with Alumina particles that are actually synthetic sapphires. The stone is shaped then kiln fired to temperature of 3000 degrees F (1649°C). Alumina ceramic stones measure 9 on the Mohs hardness scale (out of 10) and does not require lubricants like oil or water for use. The ultra-fine grit stone tightens and smoothes the cutting edge’s scratch pattern for an even keener, hair popping edge. The stone is thin and light enough for hand held use, taking the sharpening surface directly to larger items. We recommend when tabletop sharpening, using the stone on top of its suede carrying case for slip free use. To clean the stone, wash it in fresh water and scrub with a powdered abrasive cleaner and a scouring pad. Rinse and air dry. Includes Suede Leather Pouch. 2000 grit. Size: 3″ x 8″ x ⅜”.

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING SHARP-

No cutting tool can ever realize its full potential without a properly sharpened edge, but for many people, sharpening remains an elusive skill. It doesn’t have to be.

Before Spyderco ever made knives, they created revolutionary tools to keep them sharp. Working closely with America’s leading manufacturer of industrial ceramics, they developed their versatile, easy-to-use Tri-Angle Sharpmaker to demystify the sharpening process and enable anyone to quickly bring their knives to a razor edge. Since then, Spyderco has added a broad range of other sharpeners, all proudly sharing the same key qualities: they are quick and easy to use, don’t require oil, water, or complicated clamps and fixtures, and don’t need electricity. Most also easily sharpen serrated edges while prolonging the working life of your blade. There’s no excuse to settle for anything less than optimal cutting performance. Get the edge you need on all your kitchen knives and other cutting tools with Spyderco sharpeners.
