King Deluxe Water Stones (Red)
King Deluxe Red Waterstones are among the finest available. They
are fired from aluminum oxide abrasive carefully screened for consistent size
mixed into a clay matrix. Their size is 8" x 2- 5/8" x 1- 3/8"
(207x66x34mm). These waterstones are manufactured from a variety of fused
abrasives which create a porous, friable surface. This is important since,
as the tool is rubbed on the stone, the particles of abrasive are rounded and
dulled.
Unfortunately with oil stones, the particles are tightly
bound together producing a dulled surface which greatly reduces cutting
speed. On the other hand, the water stone's porous, friable surface
keeps fresh, sharp abrasive constantly exposed on the surface, thus
accelerating and optimizing the cutting effect. Full instructions
for care and use are included with each stone.
