You can use the 400-mesh side for flattening the back of chisel and plane blades and for general edge shaping and maintenance. The slurry will naturally and strongly resist burr formation, assuming the stone is not very coarse (in which case it would have to be very muddy/heavy slurry). Spyderco's 3x8 benchstone combines the many advantages of CBN with a classic flatstone format to supercharge traditional sharpening techniques.

I used to sharpen on diamond plated stones which wear out after some use, but this CBN is bonded so it will last forever. Once your edge has all the damage removed and the actual apex is no longer visibly reflecting light -- then you know that you have gotten the apex thin enough to apply a micro-bevel at apex. The broad, perfectly flat carbon steel embryo of this stone is coated with fast-cutting 400-mesh CBN on one side and finer 800-mesh CBN on the other. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. One side has a fast, aggressive 400-mesh (about 37 micron) and on the other side is a somewhat slower cutting 800-mesh (about 15 micron).Thanks Wade I’m thinking of getting the resin bonded CBN in lower grit and then switch over to my Venev stones and finish on my OCB 1200 100%. CBN Sharpening Stones consists of a 2 mm thick CBN-bearing plate mounted on a high-quality aluminum blank. That is interesting but perhaps you could share more information and someone aside from Cliff may have some insight? Modification of products, materials, measurements, technical specifications and availability can occur.

Offering greater abrasion resistance and thermal conductivity than conventional abrasives like silicon carbide and aluminum oxide, CBN removes steel quickly and efficiently. The case is compatible with 6" stones mounted or unmounted on aluminum blanks, total thickness up to 12 mm, width from 0. Spyderco is not liable for the misuse of any Spyderco knife or product purchased either directly from Spyderco or a reseller. Pefekte Ergebnisse, einfache Handhabung, die Steine liefern in den gelieferten Abstufungen alles was man zum durchschleifen braucht.Auch ein Abrichten der Steine ist nicht mehr nötig, somit kann man sich voll auf das Schleifen konzentrieren.

Listing clearly states that stone is without blank and contains photos with passport, where production date is indicated. I don't have access to Cliff Stamp to discuss my findings when I used his plateau method for the 10 trials I did. I had been getting tired of reshaping bevels on sandpaper (messy, eventually expensive) or my water stones (painfully slow).

I haven't been a big fan of mixing media types when you don't have to, but in some cases like here, maybe it would get good results. Die Beschriftung mit der Gritangabe an der Seite der Steine, macht die Identifikation im Steinständer sehr einfach. I suppose I was hoping it would act like a refreshable lapping film, rather than just a block of plastic with diamond sprayed on it.

This is where the fixed abrasives are a god-send as you can trivially bring knives to very high sharpness with even coarse plates such as the Spyderco CBN assuming you use 1- lubricant, 2 - light pressure, - edge forward strokes at slightly higher angle to grind a micro bevel, 3 - alternating strokes from one side to other/ crossing scratch patterns.The Venevs, for sure, are brilliantly designed and I'm really happy with mine, nobody would ever go wrong getting a set of Venevs. Btw, don't be afraid of the burr, if someone is, then he knows little to nothing about FH sharpening. I would also get the unmounted version of the CBN stones I have not tried them but the idea of using 3M 2 sided tape to mount them to the blank is a much better idea and an easier way to use the for etching the stones. CBN offers high performance, sharpens any steel, has a low wear rate and little loading, creates no mess and makes no unwanted grooves.
