Thread: czek Rozsutec stones

Hi, everybody, Do you know Rozsutec stones? I tink it' smilar to belgian Blue stones.
I found it on www.dick.biz, and they tell me "The Rozsutec-Stones are about 6000 Grits"
Since it's very cheap, and here in Italy is very difficult to find norton 4k-8k, i was tinking to buy one of those czek stones.


For finishing sharpening, what else I need?

A Barber hone like this?

A strop with a buffing compound?

A finer Stone?

Tank's

Welcome aboard. For finishing I'd recommend a Belgian coticule or a thuringen. They would be a natural step up from 6000 and they would give you a great edge. They stones and the shipping must be dirt-cheap in the EU

Tank you, have you got any good address or website to tell me?

I know a few for belgian stone, but they are still very expensive, over 100 euros

Any source for Thuringen stone? I know this is a really good stone.

Hi Matteo,

Try looking at the Natural Whetstone here, Northpole really liked his:

wich ones?

Product No.: 292215 belgian syle stone



Or Product No.: 292715 Natural Whetstone - fine



The black one is a Thuringen stone?

Wow, They are very cheap, 24 euros for the belgian stule and 19 euros for the black one..

Do you know the grit grade of those stones?

Tank you so mutch

I would go for the 2nd one the " Natural Whetstone " the pricing is pretty good for the 8"x2", just check the shipping though...

It is supposed to be a Thuringen comparable to the ones sold elsewhere, not sure of the exact grit...read some of the threads here on them..

Good Luck,
Neale

Tank you guys!!!!!!!!, shipping is 12 euro, but is still cheap, here in italy stones sems to be more expesive than gold!

The first one is probably not a Belgian stone. I have two stones that look like that and they are not Belgian.

The second one might be a Thuringen but maybe it is not.
If it is then it is probably between 6000 and 8000 grit.

I would buy the second one and then buy a paddle strop pasted with abrasive pastes. The 1.8 boron carbide and the 0.5 micron chrome oxide pastes from www.handamerican.com
would be my choice.


Just my two cents,

I think on a German site I read they are similar to Arkansas stones.

I'd say that you should listen to Randy, he's da man when it comes to this
