The Stones

The Tri-angle Sharpmaker comes with two sets of high quality ceramic stones that allow you to sharpen a wide variety of knives at a couple different angles. The first set of stones is a medium-grit 7″ x .5″ stone for aggressive sharpening or resurfacing a badly damaged knife. Along with the medium stones you also get a pair of professional grade finishing stones for making your knives razor sharp. The design of the stones are triangle so that you can sharpen plain edge knives on the flat surfaces and then use the sides of the stone to sharpen your knives that have serrated edges. A furrow is cut into the stones so that you can sharpen even more items like fish hooks and darts. Cleaning the stones can be done easily by simply scrubbing them in the sink or by placing them in the dishwasher. Be careful when handling the stones because they are fragile and might break if dropped.
