The silicon carbide grade used in Crystolon stones is more durable than aluminum oxide, making the Crystolon silicon carbide stones more aggressive. In removing more metal with each sharpening pass, you can speed up the sharpening process, which is preferred when the speed of sharpening is more important than the fineness of the cutting edge. Maintenance: W hetstones need to be soaked in water before use, and they can become contaminated with metal shavings, which can affect the sharpening performance. To prevent contamination, it's important to regularly clean the stone with a soft brush and to rinse it thoroughly with water. Test the stone: To determine if a stone is oil or water based, you can place a few drops of water on the stone and observe how it reacts. If the water beads up and does not soak in, it is likely an oil stone. If the water is absorbed into the stone, it is likely a water stone.
