Description


King 800


800 grit stone, a top quality Ice Bear brand stone and a real must in the waterstone armoury; this stone is used to flatten the backs of blades and form the edge. It leaves the metal dull but smooth. The 800 grit also measures 200mm x 63mm x 30mm.


King 1200


Medium 1,200 grit waterstones are used to remove scratches and further refine and partly polish the surface following honing on a coarse stone. The Ice Bear brand medium stone measures 200 x 63 x 30mm, the extra width allowing them to accommodate a 2.3/8" wide plane iron.


Trueing Grille


Finely woven, silicon carbide-coated grille for trueing uneven sharpening stones. The grille is placed on a flat surface and the sharpening stones is rubbed over it in a circular motion.


King 8000


Matsunaga is one of the largest manufacturers of sharpening stones in Japan. In the West, these stones are usually known as King stones or Sun Tiger stones. The stones of the King or Sun Tiger series have a relatively soft bond, which allows the abrasives to be continually exposed during use, making the stone highly effective. These stones are particularly suitable for extremely hard, low-alloy carbon steels (White and Blue Paper Steel). Extremely hard steels soon blunt the abrasive grains, but the soft bond allows the blunted grains to be quickly washed off, so the stone continues to be effective. Before use, soak the stones in water for at least 15 minutes. They can also be stored in water permanently.


Non-Slip Mat


DMT mat prevents sharpening stone slippage.


Thiers-Issard Paste


Thanks to its aluminium oxide abrasive, which is less aggressive than diamond, the Thiers-Issard sharpening paste is ideal for delaying the more complex basic sharpening (approx. every 2-3 weeks) a little longer. The paste is used to retain the sharpness for longer and can regularly be applied before each third or fourth shave. Rub a thin layer of paste into the cotton side of a hanging strop or the second leather side of the strop. First "sharpen" on the paste side and then finish on the leather side without paste.
