1. Three types of sharpening stones: oil stone, waterstone, diamond stone
Oil Stone
Oil stones are the traditional Western stones that many people grew up using. These stones are made from one of three materials (Novaculite, Aluminum Oxide, or Silicon Carbide) and use oil for swarf (metal filing) removal. The good overall performance and the lower price are the oil stone's greatest assets. These stones are also relatively hard, so the stones rarely require flattening. The main disadvantage of the oil stone is its slower cutting rate. Of the three main stone types, the oil stone is the slowest. The fact that oil is used to remove the swarf is also messier to clean up than water.
Water Stone
Water stones are relatively new to the Western world, but have gathered a large following due to their many advantages. Water stones are generally made of Aluminum Oxide Fast cutting is clearly an advantage of the water stone. The other obvious advantage is the use of water rather than oil to remove the swarf from the stone. However, the water stone is not perfect. The softness that promotes fast cutting also wears the stone down more quickly. This tends to wear the stone unevenly, which requires flattening to bring the stone back into shape.
Diamond Stone
Diamond stones contain small diamonds attached to the face of a metal plate. These small industrial diamonds are much harder than any of the other sharpening stones. The two greatest advantages of the diamond stone are the very fast sharpening and the flatness that is retained by the diamond stone. In fact, extra-coarse diamond stones are often used to flatten oil or water stones. The main disadvantage of the diamond stone is its initial cost. While these stones are the most expensive, they will also last a long time, so the long-term cost can be comparable to other stones.
2. What is grit of sharpening stone?
Any type of sharpening stone, no matter what material, is intended to abrade or cut the metal you are sharpening. Depending upon the type of stone you choose, you can get very different results. The coarser the stone, the faster it cuts. However, coarse stones leave a very dull edge. Finer stones are used to produce sharper edges. However, the finest stones cut slower.
A coarser stone is used when more metal needs to be removed, such as in a nicked or a very dull blade. These coarse stones cut much faster than a medium or fine stone. A coarse stone is an absolute necessity to have on hand because it saves time and sets the foundation for sharpening your edge.
The medium stones are used after the coarse stone and before the fine stone. While skipping this step is tempting, it will cost you a lot of time and wear on your fine stone. The coarse stone leaves a scratched edge. Trying to smooth out the coarse edge with a stone that is too fine will waste time and wear out the finer stone. The medium stone will make the transition from the coarse stone to the fine stone quick transition.
The finest stones are used last to produce the sharpest edge. There are many different levels of fine stones. Any of the stones we carry that are marked fine will produce a good edge for most jobs. However, if you really appreciate an extremely fine edge, the stones labeled extra fine or finer will produce an edge as sharp as or sharper than a razor's edge.
Grit is the measurement of stone's coarseness or softness. Following is the grit chart of our products:
3. Step-by-step guide for sharpening knives
Step 1: Soak the stone in the water for about 15 minutes;
Step 2: Put the stone on a steady platform and use the silicone base to prevent stone slipping during the sharpening.
Step 3: Hold the knife at an angle of 10-20.
Step 4: Grind knife's edge on the surface of stone back and forth with gentle pressure until the edge is good enough.
