EZE-LAP 2x6 diamond sharpening stone, fine, 61F

The EZE-LAP 2x6” 61F is a diamond sharpening stone with a fine grit size (600 grit). Use this fine stone to bring a dull edge back to life and give it a sharp finish. This stone is also ideal for everyday maintenance of a sharp edge. 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.

The sharpening stone has two non-slip feet on the bottom. Not only does this keep the stone stable while sharpening, but it also increases the sharpening surface. In order to distinguish between the grit sizes of the stones, there is a stripe in the colour of the grit size at the bottom of the sharpening stones. In the case of the 61F, it is a red stripe. With EZE-LAP, this equates to a fine grit size (600 grit).

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 level of effect. 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.
