Diamond Bench Stone Fine 6″ X 2.5″

Smith’s 6″ x 2.5″ Diamond Bench Stone
offers the ultimate in sharpening technology. It features multiple
layers of micron-sized moncrystalline diamonds banded in nickel to a
flat metal surface. The unique overlapping oval hole design speeds
sharpening by collecting and holding the metal filings which ordinarily
build up during the sharpening process. This allows the sharpening
surface to remain clean and clear and speeds sharpening. This stone is
excellent for sharpening wide woodworking tools, medium to small
port/utility knives, or kitchen knives.

Manual Features:

• Fine diamond stone finishes your edge
• Molded pastic base with non-slip rubber feet for safey
• Clear plastic lid protects the stone
• Micro-tool sharpening pad for small tools

Sharpening Instructions:

1. Place your blade on the end of the stone at the desired sharpening angle.
2. Push the blade away from you just like you are
   trying to carve a thin slice off the top of the stone. Use moderate
   pressure; let the diamond do the work. Repeat this pushing stroke three
   or four times. Try to maintain the same approximate angle with each
   stroke. This is the key to obtaining the sharpest edge.
3. Now sharpen the other side of the
   blade. Place your blade on the opposite end of your Smith’s stone and
   repeat steps 1 and 2 this time pulling the blade toward you.

• Always dry your diamond stone surface after each use and before storing.
• Occassionally clean your stone with soapy water and a mild brush.
