CBN (cubic boron nitride) is a generic name, there are also other names of this material, depending on manufacturer: borazon, elbor, cubonite, etc. 

CBN (cubic boron nitride) is the second-hardest material after diamond,  and has the best price-performance ratio for processing steels, comparing to other materials, including diamond, silicon carbide or aluminum oxide.  
Due to it's high resistance specs, CBN can be used dry without lubricant. This makes CBN the cleanest of the available sharpening stones.  


Length: 150 mm = 6 inch
Width:   25 mm = 1 inch
CBN height:   3 mm = 0.12 inch 
Total height (with blank):   7 mm = 0.28 inch

Bonds were designed to be as wear resistant as metal bonds, but work more softly
1/0- 63/50 - copper-resin bond BP50 for polishing
> 80/63  - copper-resin BP05, wear-resistant, for grinding
 
There were issues of shedding of grains, which was visible on coarse grain sizes, so we replaced existing bond BP08 (coarse grits >160/125) for harder bond BP05.  We still have stock of CBN stones with soft BP08 bond, please contact us if interested. 
 
Grain size: Please select from the list, or read Technical information.  
The finest grain size is 0.5/0 micron (fine polishing) , the coarsest - 200/160 micron (rough grinding). 
In grain selection window you see grain sizes according to standards:
MICRON = MESH(GRIT) = FEPA

Grain concentration: 200%
200% stones were designed on request of  professional sharpeners, who wanted to sharpen faster. According to feedback, the increase of productivity was about 50%, and this was and remains a reason to pay a higher price. 
200% combined bond stones offer high sharpening speed, but wear off faster, which is visible (shedding of grains)  on coarse grain sizes:  40/28 and coarser.    
  
Flat solid block on aluminum blank.

Application
For knife sharpening using such sharpeners as Hapstone, Edge Pro, Kazak Pro.

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.
