Description of products in this set.

CBN (cubic boron nitride, borazon) stones are well known for high hardness and resistance to high temperatures and various chemical components of alloys and steels.
  
Comparing CBN and diamond grains, we must admit, that  CBN works softer and more productively, while at the same time it does not cause yellowing scratches on the cutting edge. This is due to the fact that CBN has a crystal structure in the shape of an eyepiece - the number of cutting edges is greater with less sharp corners - resulting in softness during processing and high productivity. Diamond has a crystal structure in the form of a tetrahedron, with fewer cutting edges and sharper corners of the crystal, which leads to more "aggressive" work of the diamond  
 
The following grains are available(please contact us to change set content): 0.5/0; 1/0; 2/1; 3/2; 5/3; 7/5; 10/7; 14/10; 20/14; 28/20; 40/28; 50/40; 63/50; 80/63; 100/80; 125/100; 160/125; 200/160; 250/200; 315/250. 

Italian Black Slate  -   has good finishing properties, which are close to dark Thuringian shales, but Italian Black Slate  is a little harder, which is undoubtedly an advantage when working in apexoid type sharpeners. The slate gives a very moderate fine white suspension. It works with all steels, removing scratches on the cutting edge, and exposing their  structures, adding sharpness.

152 mm — length, 25 mm — width, 7 mm — total thickness, 
4 mm - the thickness of the working layer, 3 mm - thickness of the aluminum blank.
 
Superfinishing stone, it is recommended to switch to it after  abrasive with a grain of at least F1000-F2000, or superabrasive (CBN, diamond) 5/3, 3/2, 2/1, 1/0

Each stone is equipped with a slur (a small stone for guiding the suspension). The recommended lubricants/coolants are water, oil.

Quality Italian leather on  aluminum blank — polished and does not require additional processing. It is used for applying polishing paste and further sharpening the cutting edge of the knife. It can also be used without paste.
Length: 160 mm, Width: 25 mm, Thickness: 7 mm

Linden on a  aluminum blank - for applying polishing paste and  polishing the cutting edge of the knife.
Length: 160 mm, Width: 25 mm, Total thickness: 7 mm, The thickness of the aluminum blank - 3 mm.


Recommendations on selection of sharpening stones
How to maintain sharpening stones 

  

Preparation of sharpening stones
Stones with grits finer 3 microns either require preparation (dressing), or they will be self-polished after sharpening of 30-50 knives. Then they will be of gold color and work well.
This is common issue for all manufacturers: abrasive grains are covered with bond, so you need to "release" them. 
"Stone preparation" is not available because of war.

Use and cleaning of CBN sharpening stones
Use any comfortable oil (baby, olive..) to prevent glazing. If glazed - clean with alcohol and toothbrush.

Maintenance (in 1-2 year), flattening/revitalization:
- resin bond stones - with silicon (silica) carbide powders on glass plate,
- metal bond stones - with FeCl.
There are other methods (with SiC powders..), but method with FeCl, on glass plate is the cheapest and simplest.
You may buy 100 gr. of FeCl in grain selection window. I sell it if you buy a stone.
