About Cerax double sided waterstones

Cerax waterstones are made from slow wearing ceramic particles suspended in a durable binding matrix. They are capable of abrading high carbon and hard tool steels. These waterstones require water to function, so soak your waterstone in water up to 10 minutes before use. Water will penetrate the stone matrix and help to form a ‘sharpening slurry’ as the stone wears during use. It’s ok to allow your stone to dry out when not in use. These Cerax double sided stones come in a range of practical grit combinations for your convenience. Simply turn the stone to suit the sharpening task at hand.

Maintenance

Waterstones wear during use. As the tool steel works the binding matrix breaks down exposing fresh sharp cutting particles. This action is why waterstones sharpen so quickly. Because they wear, waterstones must be flatten regularly using a flattening stone or lapping plate.
