Sharpening stone 10 cm, quartz, Opinel

Product detailed description

When an onion puts up more resistance than the recipe, the problem may not be the onion. A few strokes on the natural stone will help restore your knife's sharpness, so you can get back to tackling ingredients instead of worrying about who last neglected equipment maintenance.

Main advantages:

• The small Opinel natural sharpening stone allows you to continuously restore knife sharpness at home, on your travels or during outdoor activities.
• With a length of just 10 cm, this stone fits easily into a pocket, backpack or kit alongside your knife.
• The natural abrasive material originates from Lombardy, Italy, and consists of a mixture of quartz and carbonate minerals.
• The Stone is suitable for sharpening folding, kitchen, table, garden and other knives with a smooth edge.
• It can also be used on blades with a rounded tip, whose curved edge glides easily over the stone.
• Before sharpening, moisten the stone with water to reduce clogging of its pores by sharpening dust and steel particles.
• When sharpening, hold the blade at approximately a 20° angle and smoothly guide the entire edge from heel to tip.
• Regular sharpening requires only a few even strokes on each side, helping to maintain a high-quality edge over the long term.
• Once a fine burr forms on the opposite side, remove it with lighter strokes and finish both sides gently.
• After use, simply rinse the Stone with clean water, allow it to dry thoroughly and store it in a dry place.
• The natural sharpening stone has a very long service life; however, it is fragile and may be damaged if dropped on a hard surface.
• The compact format will be appreciated especially by users of a pocket knife who want to keep a simple sharpening tool always close at hand.
