Description
Natural sharpening stone from Finland
Natural knife sharpening stone with sufficient length that is popular with many chefs around the world. The sharpening method is similar to the use of a ceramic sharpening rod, but achieves better results. The natural stone enables fine material removal and quickly produces a honing, polishing paste that gives the blade a beautiful shine. The stones should be sprayed with water before use. Permanent storage in water is not recommended. Approx. 1500 grit.
Finnish phyllite
In the village of Västilä in the municipality of Längelmäki (Finland), the stonemason quarries the primary rock, which was formed from approx. two-billion-year-old, former sea bed. Over millions of years, under intense heat and pressure, it has slowly developed into a qualitative stone with excellent sharpening properties. The main components of phyllite are quartz, feldspar and mica. The quality of the stone varies, so all the stones have to be worked individually by hand in order to sort out and separate harder and impure material. With phyllite, even very hard steel can still be ground and sharpened very well.
