This wide carpenter's stone measures 160 x 80 mm (6.3'' x 3.15'') is designed for large bevel tools like wood chisels and slicks, but also works great for knives, machetes and other sharp tools.
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.
This standard sized stone is excellent for all types of cutlery and beveled tools. Measuring 150 x 50 mm (5.9'' x 2''), it provides a good working surface and great stability.
