This amazing Nella bench stone is a top - notch knife sharpener. It's perfect for sharpening and honing all kinds of blades, from kitchen knives to chisels. It has a coarse side that quickly sets the edge, and a fine side for honing and polishing to a mirror - like finish. Crafted from silicon carbide and aluminum oxide, it's built to last. Measuring 8 inches in length, 2 inches in width, and 1 inch in height, it offers a large sharpening surface. The rounded corners and edges ensure a comfortable grip. Plus, it's oil - resistant, so it won't break down when using oil - based sharpening fluids. Ideal for steel, stainless steel, titanium, and other materials.

Using this Nella bench stone is easy. First, place the stone on a stable surface. If you're starting with a dull blade, use the coarse side. Hold the blade at a consistent angle and move it across the stone in a smooth, even motion. Do this several times on each side of the blade. Once you've set the edge, switch to the fine side for honing and polishing. Move the blade across the fine side in the same way. Remember to keep the blade at the same angle throughout the process. As for maintenance, after each use, clean the stone with a brush to remove any metal particles. Store it in a dry place. Also, since it's oil - resistant, you can use oil - based sharpening fluids, but make sure to wipe off any excess oil after use. This will keep your bench stone in great shape and ensure it sharpens your blades effectively for a long time.
