- Rosetta -
- Superior-Fine Grade -
Very tight, micro-porous surface. Finishing quality of stone of good cutting speed.
Of a hard, durable texture. Similar to dense unglazed ceramic.
Excellent finishing stone for kitchen and quality pocket knives. Extra hard, durable stone. Cuts well and with ease.
Articulate feedback. Micro-porous with tight density. Consistent, smooth results.
Progressive honing stone ideal for phasing into razor finishing. Provides stainless alloys with brilliant finishing polish.
~ Natural micro-crystalline silica ~
- May be used as water stone with nagura or similar slurry stones -
- Water soluble cutting oil can also be applied -
- Alternatively the hone may be given dressing and kept as an oil stone -
- Full lapping one side - See listing images -

Rosetta sharpening stones qualify into five types or grades:
Premium-Fine Grade:
Very fine, final finishing variety & uniquely clear, hard grain of stone.
Slow cutting stone used in final finishing.
Note on Premium-Fine Grade: Extremely tight grain of stone.
For optimum finishing, use on surgical grade stainless steel alloys.
~ Rosetta Matrix are recommended for very hard tempers. ~
Superior-Fine Grade:
Similarly, a very fine finishing type, equally as hard and durable, yet of slightly less tightness to the grain.
Regular-Fine Grade:
Excellent for procession honing, cuts quickly with a specific ease to control.
The grain is more open, has somewhat less density.
Provides stainless alloys with brilliant finishing polish.
Course Grade:
A gritty type of micro-quartz mineral, quite porous & fast cutting.
For resurfacing &/or removing small damages to the edge, initializing bevels, &c.
Matrix:
A top grade finishing hone when sharpening harder temper alloys &/or high carbide steel.
Uniquely suitable for achieving bright polishing & surgical grade finishes to hard temper steel.
Ultra hard, tight clay matrix variety. Slower cutting, micro-porous stone.
