Overview
This coarse grit aluminum oxide oilstone is engineered for professional sharpening and tool maintenance. It performs the critical first step in edge restoration, rapidly removing material to reshape dull, nicked, or damaged tools. The stone's aggressive 150-180 grit rating efficiently establishes a primary bevel, preparing edges for subsequent finer honing stages. Its traditional oilstone design requires the use of honing oil, which suspends removed metal particles to prevent clogging and ensures consistent cutting performance throughout the stone's lifespan.
