Created by a Norton engineer who is also a dedicated woodworker and bladesmith, Norton Waterstones combine craftsmanship with the latest abrasive technology to produce a truly superior sharpening system.
Norton Waterstones use water for a lubricant and flushing agent. They're easier to clean than oilstones and they won't leave an oil residue on your tools. These fast cutting stones give you feedback as you work, so it's easier to feel and maintain the correct angle as you sharpen.
This 3" Extra Wide stone is the best choice for larger or wider items such as block plane blades and chisels. The 8000 stone is an aggressive sharpener which will quickly provide a basic working edge.
