Norton 61463685545 (IB64) India AO Combination Grit Sharpening Benchstone, Aluminum Oxide Abrasive, Coarse/Fine Grits, Orange/Brown Colors, 4" x 1" x 1"

Came on time, in good condition and as advertised. Just fine

perfect

8 have no complaints about this sharpening stone. I have damaged an axe beyond the use k this stone and had to file it beforehand, but got it back to cutting shape with this thing's help. I got my hatchet to where it shaves better than any knife I've ever owned on this. Nothing but praise for it.

I have a nerdy collection of fancy Japanese sharpening stones for my pocket and kitchen knives. But for axes and hatchets? This is what you want. Slap a few drops of mineral oil on it and start swirling. I only need a minute or two once or twice a month on the hatchet to keep my grilling wood chopped and ready for the grill.

Bought this based on Wranglerstar recommendation on You Tube.. impressive quality and weight.

Came as expected and nice stone for the price

So this is actually a round stone (4" diameter and about 1" thick) with a course and a fine side. As far as the grit goes the fine is finer than the course and the course is courser than the fine, really that's all I could say. It nice enough to put a nice edge on an ax but I wouldn't use it on my knife. I typically use this for hand sharpening concave ground wood tools. Its pretty handy in the shop but for the woods I use a Lansky puck which is a little bit courser but a hell of a lot cheaper. speaking of which the list price on this sure went up. Its not worth more than $20. I think you can buy them in bulk for under $10.

This is a great stone that doesn’t fall apart from use like so many others do.

This is a great sharpening stone, but it ships in a terrible paper box. Like, not even cardboard. Naturally, mine got damaged during shipping. A little piece broke off. It still works well though.
