Sharpal Dual-Grit Diamond Sharpening Stone w/ Angle Guide, 325/1000 Grit
The Sharpal 168H is an 8" x 3" (203 x 76 mm) dual-sided diamond sharpening stone with a coarse 325 grit (45 micron) face for restoring dull or damaged edges and an extra fine 1000 grit (15 micron) face for honing to a finished, razor-sharp edge. The diamond surface is monocrystalline, electroplated for durability, and built to Sharpal MirrorFlat specifications, holding a flatness tolerance of plus or minus 0.002 in (0.05 mm) with no lapping required over time. This version ships without a storage case, on a non-slip pad instead.
The larger 8" by 3" surface gives more room for stabilizing the blade and tracking a consistent angle than Sharpal's smaller-format stones, and it comfortably handles longer chef knives and wider tools in addition to standard kitchen knives. It pairs well with the 169H stone (220/600 grit) for a full progression from heavy repair through to a polished edge. An included Angle Pyramid guide offers four fixed reference angles--14, 17, 20, and 25 degrees--to help maintain a consistent bevel by hand.
Use and Care Instructions: Sharpen dry or with honing oil. Do not use water on this stone. Set the blade against the angle guide to establish a consistent bevel, then work the edge across the coarse 325 grit face first if the edge is dull or damaged, finishing on the extra fine 1000 grit face to hone and remove any burr. Wipe the surface clean after use. The diamond surface does not require flattening the way natural or ceramic stones do.Brand: Sharpal
