Suehiro SEI-010 Flattening Stone

The flattening stone is intended for the maintenance and levelling of sharpening stones. Water sharpening stones wear unevenly during sharpening, which leads to the formation of irregularities and slight depressions that can reduce the quality of sharpening. These irregularities and scratches can be easily repaired using the flattening stone.

This model from Suehiro is suitable for levelling and cleaning medium-coarse and finishing sharpening stones. It is equipped with a plastic handle on the back, which facilitates handling and ensures even levelling. Regular use will ensure that your sharpening stones have a flat surface – which is essential for effective and precise sharpening of knives and tools.

Working procedure: 
This flattening stone has high density and is ready to use after light moistening.
1. Soak the sharpening stone you want to level – the soaking time depends on the type of stone.
2. Lightly moisten the flattening stone.
3. Evenly glide the flattening stone over the surface of the sharpening stone until it is flat.
4. Regularly add water during work if the surface dries out.
5. After finishing, rinse both stones, thoroughly dry them, and store them in a dry and safe place.
