The full edge-to-edge uninterrupted diamond surfaces on the benchstones make for quicker, more efficient sharpening, at a high value.

The green, Medium side (280 grit) will quickly recondition your blades, removing substantial amounts of material from your blade to re-define its edge. The blue Fine side (600 grit) will produce and maintain a micro-serrated working edge, polishing away the marks from lower grit stones. The 600 grit stone produces a working edge that is adequate for nearly any task, especially cardboard cutting.

A perfect addition to any craftsmans workshop, the diamond abrasives on the benchstones are excellent for repairing and maintaining a large range of tools from dull and damaged kitchen knives, to well maintained woodworking chisels.

Instructions
USING YOUR DOUBLE SIDED DIAMOND BENCHSTONE

Step 1– Select the proper sided of the stone for your edge.

Medium – To maintain an undamaged, dull edge
Fine – To hone/polish a finished edge or for daily maintenance

Step 2– Set the Benchstone base on a stable, flat surface with the stone you have selected facing up.

Note- Lubrication of any kind is not recommended while sharpening on any of the three stones. DO NOT USE HONING OIL ON THE DIAMOND STONE.

Step 3– Observe the bevel angle on the blade you intend to sharpen. Then, bring the edge to the stone matching your sharpening angle to the bevel angle.

Step 4– Using light pressure, push the edge of the blade across the stone in one motion, much like trying to slice a thin layer off the top of the stone. Maintaining a consistent angle is essential for the best results.

Step 5– Repeat process 3-4 times on one side of the blade then switch to the other side and repeat.

Step 6– Repeat this process until edge is sharp then progress to finer stones and repeat.

Step 7– Clean your stones.

Clean the Diamond stone with a damp rag after each use.

Suggestions

1. Use a series of stones for the best results. For an undamaged edge start with the Medium Diamond Stone

2. Start with your selected stone. Use 3-4 strokes on one side of the blade. Repeat process on the other side of the blade. Repeat this whole process, switching between sides, about 3-4 times.

3. Then use only 2 strokes per side. Repeat this process 2-3 times.

4. Then 1 stroke per side. Repeat this process 1-2 times.

5. Move on to a finer stone.
