This small stone which measures 120 x 25 mm (4.75'' x 1'') can be easily carried anywhere with you, at camp or in the woods.
Extracted in an open-air quarry, the soft or smooth stone, dark gray in color, is much more homogeneous than the hard stone. It will be used for finer and more precise sharpening.
It is important to understand that this is a natural stone and that there is no defined grain size, unlike stones made with abrasives which have their grain number.
The fact remains that the smooth stone is polished with water using an abrasive belt and to position this stone in relation to other stones, the manufacturer indicates approximately the equivalence of a grain of 1000.
The Böker Plus Atlas is a reliable and elegant tool with a stainless-steel handle in a gritty dark stonewash finish. Its minimalist construction is extremely robust, making this practical knife the ideal companion in all circumstances.
