Tools and
blades come in so many different shapes and sizes, and when used regularly
require sharpening. Their variety generates the need for shaped
sharpening stones.Slip-shaped stones are great for sharpening
curved blades, woodworking tools, plane irons and sophisticated shaped
edges. When viewed in profile, slip stones are teardrop
shaped. They hone flat, concave, convex edges and bring slant-edge
and straight chisels to their sharpened best. Spyderco’s fine
grit ceramic slip stone is flat, thin and ultra smooth for professionally
finishing and sharpening. They’re made from Alumina Ceramic, a
process where a bonding agent is combined with Alumina particles that are
actually synthetic sapphires. The stone is formed into a slip
teardrop and kiln fired to 3000 degrees F (1649°C). Alumina ceramic
stones measure 9 on the Mohs hardness scale (out of 10) and don’t require
lubricants like oil or water for use. Fine grit stones tighten and
smooth the cutting edge’s scratch pattern for an even keener, hair popping edge.
Spyderco’s slip stone is 2” X 4” thin and light enough for hand
held use, taking the sharpening surface directly to larger items.
We recommend when tabletop sharpening, using the stone on top of
its’ suede carrying case for slip free use. To clean, wash in fresh
water and scrub with powdered abrasive cleaner and a scouring pad.
Rinse and air dry.
