Sicorit, Wood Carving Set (Set of 4)

Honing stones are aids for the manual honing of ground tools. A distinction is made between natural stones and artificial stones. Artificial stones consist of ceramic materials that have been pressed into shapes and fired. They are homogeneous in structure and the same in shape and appearance. They can be produced in different grain sizes (degrees of fineness).

 

Sicorit sharpening stones - for use with oil or water.
These sharpening stones are the highest quality artificial stones. They are comparable to the best natural hard Arkansas stones. The colour is white. The extremely hard and fine crystals from which these stones are made guarantee the greatest resistance to wear and tear and change in shape. They guarantee the best surface quality and shape accuracy of the workpiece to be machined. These stones are available as bench stone, hollow chisel stone, multi-shaped stone, shaped knife stone, grinding files and wood carving sets (four pieces with different edge profiles).

 

Since most whetstones can be used with both water and oil as a lubricant, it must be mentioned that the user must choose one of the two. When working with oil, the following rule applies: once oil - always oil. Oil is more “pliable” than water for handling, but it carries the risk that traces of oil can get onto the piece of wood and leave stains there.
