This handmade sharpening stone made of phyllite can be used to sharpen axes. The round shape of the stone makes it possible to work with circular rather than linear movements, which is more practical when sharpening an axe. The natural stone has fine removal properties and quickly produces a honing polishing paste that gives the blade sharpness and a beautiful shine. The stones should be sprayed with water before use. Approx. 1000 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.
