The 1×4 KME Silicon Carbide Sharpening Stone is specially crafted for aggressive sharpening needs, catering to serious profiling, repairs, and initial sharpening tasks. #80 grit stone stands out as an extra-extra coarse stone, swiftly eliminating metal while potentially leaving longer “whisper” scratches above the bevel. Despite its appearance, this stone excels in aggressive sharpening, serving as a reliable replacement for coarse diamond plates and other similar sharpening stones. #120 grit stone, also an aggressive extra coarse option, efficiently removes metal, aids in profiling, repairs, and initial sharpening. Although not as aggressive as the #80 grit, it still offers substantial metal removal and prepares blades for subsequent sharpening stages. Both stones, measuring 1×4 inches, come mounted on steel blanks. They are exclusively designed for use with water and perform optimally when soaked for a minute or two before use. To maintain their efficiency, it is recommended to store them in a dry place between uses. Specifications: Abrasive Material: Silicon Carbide Stone Size: 1×4 inches Stone Thickness: 5mm More Information The Jende 80 Grit and 120 Grit 1×4 KME Silicon Carbide Sharpening Stone are mid range extra coarse grit sharpening stones that works on almost all types of knives, scissors, tools and chisels, including those made with abrasion resistant steels. While the 1×4 size is meant for use with the KME Sharpener, and the Wicked Edge Uni Stone Holder Paddles,these stones are also a great size for a slip stone, field stone or a pocket stone for knife repairs and sharpening on the go, or to remove unwanted burrs. Ideal place in a sharpening progression: Starting grit for major repairs and profiling. In place of any diamond grit plate or extra coarse stone. Where mechanized sharpening and belt grinders are not available. Before progressing to another coarse or lower end medium grit stone (120-1K grit) These 1×4 KME Silicon Carbide Sharpening Stone can also be used in a mix and match progression of other synthetic and natural sharpening stones, as well with other brands such as Shapton, Sigma, Suehiro, Imanishi, Spyderco, King, etc. These are Waterstone, and not to be used with oil, but can be used in conjunction with oil stones (such as Norton India and other carborundum and Arkansas stones) if the blade is wiped clean before and after switching stone types. These stones are very aggressive and releases a lot of grit for extra punch. They does make very fast work of seriously reprofiling and repairing of the softer end of the spectrum of steels like X50CrMoV15, AUS6, 440B, and most steels used by many kitchen knife makers like Henckels, Wüsthof, Gunter Wilhelm, F Dick, Victorinox, etc. However, these stones are more appropriate for softer steeled garden tools such as lawnmower blades and hedge clippers and other tools that don’t necessarily need to be as refined in sharpness as they need to be shaped well for cutting at speeds. On the higher end of the hardness spectrum of traditional steel edges made with steels like 1095, 52100, 440C, Aogami White, Shirogami Blue, O1, W1, etc. These stones might be considered a little too aggressive, but won’t chip out the edge as much as diamond plates can. On Carbide Forming Steel and More Abrasion Resistant Steel Edges such as VG-10, D2, M2, S35V, S90V, etc., These stones excels at removing matrix steel and carbides. Hacks and Tips: This stone makes its own slurry as it is used and is a little thirsty. Keeping the stone viscous with water will keep it more aggressive. To clean up the scratches before moving to another grit, let the paste on the stone dry out slightly. This will leave a slightly less scratchy finish in preparation for the next grit. This stone will dish with use. Lap this stone with an extra coarse diamond plate, silicon carbide (SiC) powder, or very low grit (60-100) wet dry sandpaper to keep it consistently flat and clean.
