Purpose-built to bring well-worn bits and blades back to life, this Dual-Grit axe sharpening stone from Straight Grain Supply features 80 grit on one side and 220 grit on the other.
Features
80 grit side removes steel in a controlled manner for repairing chips and reshaping blades from heavy use
220 grit side refines the blade for additional sharpening; it's also perfect for keeping an edge maintained
This combination is ideal for repairing axe blades by hand, without worry about damaging the steel's temper on a bench grinder or other automatic sharpening device
A recessed finger groove between the sides and a removable rubber band provide excellent grip when manipulating the stone
Included rubber band is American-made from EDPM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer); can be removed for use in a variety of outdoor applications
Recessed finger groove and band combination provide secure grip and help to keep your hand positioned well above the cutting plane; gloves are highly recommended
Each stone is made from evenly graded aluminum oxide granules, which cuts fast and consistently
Oil is not required; water is recommended
For use on all edged tools
Portable design is well suited to field use
Note: each stone is set and cut by hand; some variation in size and color may occur
