EZE-LAP 2x6 two-sided diamond sharpening stone, extra fine/fine, DD6SF/F

The EZE-LAP 2x6” DD6SF/F is a double-sided diamond sharpening stone with super fine (1200 grit) and fine (600 grit) grit sizes. Use this bench stone to quickly restore your blunt knives and tools to their former razor-sharp glory. The stone is also perfect for maintaining an edge that is already sharp. This sharpening stone comes with a non-slip mat, so you can be sure that the stone won't move while you're sharpening.

The advantage of diamond as an abrasive is that it quickly removes material. Also, its surface stays nice and smooth, and the stone lasts a very long time. To distinguish between the different grit sizes, the stone has a small information panel on each side. This panel shows both the grit size and a stripe in the corresponding colour. In the case of the DD6SF/F, the superfine 1200 grit on one side has a blue stripe and the fine 600 grit on the other side is designated by a red stripe.

Using the sharpening stone

We recommend that you start with a slightly older knife for your first times sharpening with this stone, because diamond sharpening stones need to be "pre-sharpened". You'll notice that the surface of the sharpening stone is initially somewhat coarser in texture. After sharpening a few knives, this will disappear, and the stone will reach its final effect. Sharpen strategically and let the stone do its work without applying too much pressure.

EZE-LAP diamond sharpening stones can be used wet and dry. The advantage of wet sharpening is that it lubricates the stone and also washes away the sharpening residues. Only use water to wet sharpen - never use oil. If you only use the sharpening stone for dry sharpening, we recommend that you regularly clean the surface. This will remove sharpening residues from previous use and make sure the stone stays in top condition.
