Detailed Description
Gränsfors Bruk Natural Whetstone
The Gränsfors Bruk natural whetstone has two cutting faces (one fine & one coarse) with
a vegetable tanned leather sheath. It fits neatly in your pocket and can also attach to your belt or backpack with
the included strap.
The coarse side is made from a sandstone from Orsa, Sweden, with a grain that varies from 120 – 200 grit. This
sandstone is a fossil-free sedimentary rock which is comprised mostly of silica-bound quartz. This sandstone
has been used as a sharpening stone since the 1500s, and the qualities of its coarse, slightly porous surface
work well to grind an edge back to its original geometry and begin sharpening before final honing.
The fine side of the whetstone is made from a fine-grained slate from Los, Sweden. It is a unique material which
is only found in Los, and has been used as a whetstone since the late 1800s. The Los stone has a grain size
between 500 – 1000 grit with a smooth and hard surface. This fine-grained, smooth surface has the qualities
to achieve an extremely sharp edge with good bite.
Stone and sheath are made in Sweden.
