Pride Abrasive Combination Water Stone 3K/8K 82130008000 (CARDBOARD BOX)

Pride Abrasive Combination Water Stone 3K/8K (82130008000) – Double-Sided Sharpening Stone

This Pride Abrasive Combination Water Stone combines a 3000 grit (fine) face with a 8000 grit (ultra-fine) face on one double-sided block, supplied in a cardboard storage case. It is designed to take a blade from sharpening through to a refined finish without needing to change stones.

Use the 3000 grit side for refining the edge left by a medium stone and removing coarser scratch marks, then turn the stone over and move to the 8000 grit side for producing a highly polished, near mirror finish suited to fine kitchen knives and pocket blades. As with all Pride Abrasive water stones, soak the stone in water before use and keep the surface wet throughout sharpening for the best results.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 3000/8000 grit combination used for?

The 3000 grit side is fine and suited to refining the edge left by a medium stone and removing coarser scratch marks, while the 8000 grit side is ultra-fine and used for producing a highly polished, near mirror finish suited to fine kitchen knives and pocket blades.

How long should I soak the stone before sharpening?

Submerge the stone in clean water for 10-15 minutes, or until it stops releasing air bubbles, before each use.

Does the stone need to be flattened over time?

Yes, like all water stones it will dish gradually with use. A dedicated flattening stone will keep both faces true for consistent sharpening angles.
