Thread: Sharpening/Polishing Stone Grits

Someone already made a chart but the natural stones are not listed by name, since they are mostly approximations anyway:

I should have looked a bit harder for the information. I just wanted to point out how the different countries rate their grit...but it was covered. Another day late & of course another dollar short.

Yes, the natural stones do vary & can get quite costly. I've got quite a few bucks tied up into my stones.

Thanks again & forgive my over-site.

Can someone point me in the direction of this "Moor White Ceramic" listed in league with the chromium oxide?

thanks,

Ben

I was looking for information about this stone too. I emailed the website that the chart came from and was told that Moor is a company that makes wood carving tools, and they used to offer a sharpening system with a red and a white hone. Unfortunately, it's no longer in production

Kindest regards,

I emailed the company that supposedly made this hone, the guy who runs it said that he never made a 12k hone. They do retail a 4"x 2" ceramic stone available in 8000 and 800 US grit, but no 12k and no red hone.

Kindest regards,
Alex
