    Default Norton BE173290 silicon carbide fine bench hone

    Hi,

    Has anyone else come across this stone? I want to know the grit size. Feels somewhere between 700 and 1000. I've looked on the Norton website and tried googling it, but no joy

    Cheers

    It's supposed to be a 750 grit. Very fast cutter. I use one to sharpen to axes, shovels, and lawn mower blades.
    I wouldn't use on a SR, I'm not even sure I would use it on a kitchen knife. It will remove a lot of metal very quickly.
    It would probably level a coticule well.

    Thanks Hirlau."Long time listener, first time caller", as they say. And thanks criswilson10 for the answer. I'll give it a crack and see how it goes. I have a 700 grit diamond hone I use for chips, so it will be interesting to see how they stack up. Fortunately I shave with an axe!
