150-12-7-4-3
Sharpening of curved blades on hand sharpeners, line Edge, Kazak, etc.
Length: 150 mm = 6 inch
Width: 12 mm = 0.5 inch
CBN height: 3 mm = 0.12 inch
Total height (with blank): 7 mm = 0.28 inch
Bonds: Metal M2-01 (copper-tin), Combined (copper-resin, depending on grain size)
Flat solid block on aluminum blank.
Grain concentration: 100%
Do not waste your money on cheaper stones with lower/unknown concentration.
Flat solid block on aluminum blank, abrasive grains are evenly distributed across the volume of the stone.
Preparation of sharpening stones
Unlike other sharpening stones, most of these hybrid bond stones do not need preparation, except stones with grits finer 1 microns (<Grit 15000). Ultrafine grains (1/0, 0.5/0) form agglomerates in a bond, so you may need to dress them with abrasive powders/pastes, or they will be self-polished after sharpening of 30-50 knives.

Use and cleaning of diamond sharpening stones
Use any comfortable oil (baby, olive..) to prevent glazing. If glazed – clean with alcohol and toothbrush.
Maintenance (in 1-2 years), flattening/revitalization – with silicon (silica) carbide powders on glass plate, grain size selection – according to the table above.
