Norton Sharpening Oilstone

This oilstone is used to restore cutting edges on straight-edged tools, such as chisels, knives, plane blades, and precision instruments.

The stone is prefilled with oil to save time and eliminate the need to pre-soak it prior to use. The oil prevents metal from bonding with the abrasive surface by flushing away dislodged abrasive and metal chips.

This aluminium oxide stone has a tough fracture- and wear-resistant grit that is more durable than silicon carbide and capable of sharpening to very close tolerances.

Sharpening stones are abrasive surfaces used to sharpen and hone the edges of steel cutting implements, such as chisels, knives, scissors, hand scrapers, and plane blades.
