3 Sided Sharpening Stone

Comments about Lifetime Carbide 3 Sided Sharpening Stone:

Have been interested in a very good sharpening stone for a long time couldn't pay big prices at home centers. I spotted this on line and read reviews which were very impressive. Bought it yesterday and now have very sharp chisels. I started with the gray side first then to the white side now I'm ready for some major woodworking. Plan on sharpening everything that cuts. Very pleased with this item.

I have been an engraver / silversmith most all my life, and I tend to shy away from the power assisted tools like the Lindsay Airgraver & GRS Gravermach AT, etc. tools. Although both are excellent tools, most commissioned work on firearms from the wealthy sect will not agree to the use of such power assisted engraving on their firearms. Thus, this brings forth the need for keeping those gravers as sharp as possible when using the chisel & hammer (oldschool) to engrave. Soak these stones in oil overnight (not necessary but is recommended for any stones), and you are ready to go. The green stone will take down high carbon and carbide steel ultra fast, but leave a nice smooth surface on the metal; amazingly. Hit the white (fine) stone, and you are all set to go. I have many Arkansas & other such well-known stones, and I bought this on a test basis given the price, but I will say I'm using these stones more than any of my other stones and that's no exaggeration. Here's the real kicker, I've had my block for almost two years now, and I have not had to level it as of yet, and I hit it pretty good with the gravers (square, onglette, knife, line, etc). If you're an engraver, then you will not go wrong here in the least bit. Happy engraving fellow engravers! Cheers!
