These stones measure .537″ thick x 2.975″ wide x 8″ long. The backs are .475″ thick with a .062″ thick diamond/resin matrix. Save 10% when buying a full set.
Be aware that you will need loose abrasive and a flat plate to dress them with, both for maintenance and initially as they generally ship without being dressed.
R. Anthony –
Been using these for a few months now. It took a little while to get used to the feel but after the adjustment I love them. The resin is softer than Venev and Naniwa but harder than Nanohone. I was a bit uncertain about the dressing process but the youtube videos explained the process well and it really was easy. I’ve dressed the 80 and 40 one time since the initial few dressings (those two are my most used for maintenance/touch-ups, maybe 10-15 knives) on all of the grits so they have been as durable as expected.
Everything from 8CR13 to Maxamet to ceramic have all finished with great edges.
Bonus tip of the hat for being a true blue small American business that has developed and supplied this. I’m grateful that they threw their hat in the ring with the bench stones.
