🔧 What it does & how to use

This India stone is a fine-grade oilstone used for honing and sharpening dull edged tools — chisels, plane blades, knives, and similar cutting edges — bringing them back to a keen, working sharpness. It's a straightforward bench tool suited to both hobbyists and tradespeople.

To use, lay the stone on a stable, flat surface (a non-slip mat or block helps keep it steady). A few drops of honing oil can be applied to the surface to help float away swarf and reduce clogging, though the stone will also work dry if preferred. Draw the tool's edge across the stone at a consistent angle in smooth, even strokes, working along the full length of the stone rather than in one small spot, until a sharp, even edge is restored. Wipe the stone clean after use to keep the surface free of built-up metal particles.
