JENDE: Jende Marble and Granite Sharpening Stone Basins


As many of you know, we at Jende Industries, LLC want only the highest quality products for our customers. The Jende Sharpening Stone Basins are made one at a time, and we are sure that you will enjoy the craftsmanship of these basins for years, not only with the exquisite Marble and Granite options, but the 45 degree mitered corners, and the softly rounded over edges that all culminate to make your sharpening and lapping a truly pleasurable experience - every single time.

Each Jende Sharpening Stone Basin is made to order. Total dimensions are 42 cm long x 23 cm wide x 4 cm high, the basin itself has a depth of 2 cm that is water-tight . There are 2 "islands" to that have been specifically designed to accommodate all of your Shapton DRLP's, DGLP's, Compact Lapping Plates, and stone storage cases that double as sharpening bases. The result is a spacious height clearance of about 7 cm on each side of the basin.

The Jende Sharpening Stone Basins are especially helpful in containing the slurry and water run-off when lapping and sharpening. Clean up is quick, and you will see just how beautiful your basin is every time you use it!

These very sturdy basins weigh about 8 Kilograms, or 18 Pounds each. In order to significantly reduce the shipping charges for such a heavy item, please allow 8-10 weeks for delivery from date of purchase. There will be subtle differences with the grain patterns in each piece of marble or granite, but every one is guaranteed to be a working work of art!

There are so many other things that I would rather spend $400 dollars on, especially seeing that I only ever hold the stones in my hand while honing. Different strokes for different folks.

Your telling me! like i said, its not like i could ever afford one but it is still cool

I'd rather spend the money on another hone which is equally, if not more, beautiful, and certainly for my part at least, far more useful.

you can make similar from corian, plexiglass, ot make what the japanese use from simple wood.

Yeah - it's cool looking. I'll stick with my standard stone holder and Silpat though.
