Slip Stone – Fine / 2″ x 4″

Tools and blades come in so many different shapes and sizes, and when used regularly require sharpening. Their variety generates the need for shaped sharpening stones. Slip-shaped stones are great for sharpening curved blades, woodworking tools, plane irons and sophisticated shaped edges. When viewed in profile, slip stones are teardrop shaped. They hone flat, concave, convex edges and bring slant-edge and straight chisels to their sharpened best. Spyderco’s fine (1200 grit) ceramic slip stone is flat, thin and ultra smooth for professionally finishing and sharpening. They’re made from Alumina Ceramic, a process where a bonding agent is combined with Alumina particles that are actually synthetic sapphires. The stone is formed into a slip teardrop and kiln fired to 3000 degrees F (1649°C). Alumina ceramic stones measure 9 on the Mohs hardness scale (out of 10) and don’t require lubricants like oil or water for use. Fine grit stones tighten and smooth the cutting edge’s scratch pattern for an even keener, hair popping edge. Spyderco’s slip stone is 2” X 4” 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, wash in fresh water and scrub with powdered abrasive cleaner and a scouring pad. Rinse and air dry.

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.
