Norton India Slip Stones

Slipstones are used for honing the inside of a gouge when sharpening. India stones are tough and hard, and will last a lifetime as long as you use them with cutting oil. We mostly stock the medium grit for fast stock removal. Just follow with a hard Arkansas slipstone or a strop charged with green honing compound. The wider stone has both a wider and narrower radius on the rounded ends then the narrower stone, which has both radiused ends somewhere in the middle range.
