This Norton India stone has a course and a fine grit side perfect for
sharpening most folding knives, fixed blades, and kitchen knives. The length is
8 inches, and it is easier to use a stone about as long as your longest knife.
Most folding, sporting and kitchen knives are around 8" or less, so this stone
will work well for that as well as many fixed blades with a few exceptions like
serrated edges. India stones are a hard stone that do require oil (not
included).
The india stone is finer and will give a finer edge than the crystolon stone
but does take longer to get an edge on it. Using a fine steel afterward and can
get a razor edge that will shave my arm. As with most things it takes practice,
and a 10 to 15 degree angle. If you are scratching the side of the knife you
are to flat, raise it a little and imagine you are cutting in between the bark
on a small branch. That should help or imagine the surface on an old cube of
butter slicing off the bad part. You must use oil with stone or it will clog up
the surface and not work. It is more messy but keep oil on the stone! When the
stone gets out of shape use a resurfacing stone by Norton or some people will
wet the side walk and work it in a circular motion to make it all flush again.
