Aluminum Oxide and Silicon Carbide Vitrified Combination Sharpening Stones

There are two types of combination sharpening stones, one type is a rectangular shape and another type is a round shape.

Rectangular Combination Sharpening Stone

A rectangular combination sharpening stone is otherwise known as a bench stone. It’s a flat stone ideal for renewing the cutting edge of straight-edged tools such as plane blades, chisels, drawknives, wood lathe cutters, precision tools, knives, spokeshaves, and delicate instruments.

Round Combination Sharpening Stone

Round Combination Sharpening Stone is designed for deburring, sharpening, and honing knives and other tools. It’s a sharpening stone made with a fast-cutting silicon carbide Crystolon abrasive. It also comes in two different surfaces: the coarse surface of 120 grit and the fine surface of 320 grit.

Features:

• Very user-friendly
• Perfect for a frequent sharpening of tools
• Restore cutting edge on straight-edged tools.
• Helps maintain the swift slicing and overall usability of tools
• Feature two different types of stones in one

Overview

Virtually every professional chef knows how dangerous a dull knife can be; in fact, how it can be more dangerous than a sharp one. This is one of the main reasons it’s pretty expedient to ensure that knives are well-sharpened from time to time in order to maintain high-quality slicing ability and general usability. Fortunately, there are a number of fantastic tools that can be employed when sharpening knives are involved.  One of these well-known sharpening tools is rectangular combination sharpening stone, which is primarily available in aluminum oxide (India stones) and silicon carbide (Crystolon stones).

Detail Description

Combination sharpening stone (bench stone) is a flat stone used for sharpening tools on a bench. As a combination sharpening stone, it comes with two different grits on two different faces: one face is used to repair steel cutting edges while the opposite face is used to sharpen and maintain them. These two faces can be made of the same or different materials in different granularity. They can be made of silicon carbide and aluminum oxide, which can be used to sharpen knives, glass-wares and other kinds of related manufactures

Combination sharpening stone is ideal for producing durable and smooth-cutting edges. It helps sharpen and hone the edges of steel tools and implements such as knives, chisels, plane blades, and hand scrapers. The sharpening process is technically in two different ways. The first involves creating or re-establishing a cutting edge by grinding away parts of the metal to give the angle of the edge a proper adjustment and reforming the shape. The other process is honing, which involves removing small imperfections.

Common Uses:

Combination sharpening stone is an oilstone that is characteristically durable and wears slowly, with longer retention of flatness when compared to Waterstones. It is commonly used for some specific tasks. These include:

1. For grinding away parts of the metal to adjust the angle of the edge and reform the shape
2. Removing every small imperfection from the workpiece

Specification:

Summary

Combination sharpening stones can be highly recommended for beginners.  With this type of stone, users have two different types of stone in one at their disposal.  Its silicon carbide and aluminum oxide combination sharpening stone can ensure the general sharpening and maintenance of kitchen knives and other regular steel tools such as plane blades, chisels, wood lathe cutters, precision tools, spokeshaves, and delicate instruments.

Getting a combination sharpening stone comes with numerous benefits. Aside from the fact that it’s very user-friendly, it’s ideal for frequent sharpening of knives. To cap it all, you can quickly restore the cutting edge on straight-edged tools with this sharpening stone, thereby maintaining the swift slicing and overall usability of such tools.
