1×6 Jende Diamond Resin Sharpening Stones

The 1×6 Jende Diamond Resin Sharpening Stones come in eight grits—120 Micron, 60 Micron, 30 Micron, 15 Micron, 9 Micron, 6 Micron, 3 Micron, and 1 Micron—equivalent to 120, 220, 500, 1K, 2K, 3K, 6K, and 15K grits, respectively. Aside from being able to abrade all steel types including ceramic knives, The Jende Diamond Resin Stones were designed specifically to fill the mid grit progression gap between diamond plates and diamond emulsions and strops, and complete an all-diamond stone lineup. We later added the 120, 60 and 30 micron to round out the whole progression. Formulated to our own specs, these stones act more like premium quality splash and go water stones. Size is 1″ x 6″ x 5mm in size and mounted to a stainless steel blank and is compatible for use with the Jende JIGS for Knives, Edge Pro, Hapstone, TSProf sharpeners, and with the Wicked Edge Uni Stone Holder Paddles. It is also a great size for a slip stone, field stone or a pocket stone for knife sharpening on the go. Used with water, let it air dry between use. Clean, lap, and flatten these stones ONLY with a Jende 2-Sided Glass Lapping Plate and Silicon Carbide powders. Lapping diamonds to diamond only wears the diamonds down, and doesn’t revitalize the resin stones. 120 Micron (~120 grit) is a renewable 120 grit diamond plate, meaning it will cut aggressively for extended periods while maintaining its overall flatness. It is designed for harder steels  and ceramics that often chip out when diamond plates are used. 60 Micron (~220 grit) is a starting grit for repairs and profiling, and is a renewable 220 grit diamond plate. Just like the 120 micron, it will cut aggressively for extended periods while maintaining its overall flatness. It works on all steel types and ceramics. 30 Micron (~500 grit) is a starting grit for repairs and profiling, and is a renewable 500 grit diamond plate. Just like the 120 and 60 microns, it will cut aggressively for extended periods while maintaining its overall flatness. It is used for routine maintenance, light profiling and reprofiling, and light repairs. 15 Micron (~1000 grit) is an excellent cleanup stone to remove deeper scratches left by coarser plates and stones. It can also be used for routine maintenance and sharpening. This stone leaves a very good working sharp edge. 9 Micron (~2,000 grit) further refines the edges from the 15 micron diamond resin stone, and can be used for light repair and general maintenance sharpening. It leaves an even better quality work sharp edge. The 9 micron diamond resin stone also begins to polish, and sets things up for further refinement sharpening and polishing. 6 Micron (~3,000 grit) really begins to refine and polish the edge leaving a high level of sharpness and with some very good shine. The 6 micron diamond resin stone is best for maintenance sharpening and preparation for full out mirrors and further refinement. 3 Micron (~6,000 grit) is a keystone slicing edges and mirror polishing. It is an excellent touching up stone, and really sets the edge up for the 1 micron or further refinement with stones, strops or Jende diamond films. 1 Micron (~15,000 grit) takes the mirror and edge of the 3 micron to the next level with just enough room to go a little further with 20K stones, strops and emulsions up to 0.025 micron, or Jende diamond 0.5 micron films.
