Engineered and manufactured in the USA, Pride Abrasive sharpening stones are thicker than most other stones on the market and designed to be fast cutting and even wearing. High-quality man-made materials lead to incredibly uniform grit. A unique Water Stone production process results in an incredibly flat, long-lasting stone that requires a minimum amount of water and delivers a fast cut. Pride Abrasive sharpening stones are available in a range of grits from 220 to 10,000 and, while primarily used for maintaining kitchen knives, can also be used to sharpen tools, scissors, skates, skis and pretty much any item that needs a maintained edge.

200 through 600 grit are coarse and ideal for repairing a chip or reprofiling a bevel, 800 and 1000 grit are great for touch-ups, 3000 is the level of sharpness many high-end knives leave the factory, 6000 is typically the limit of most chefs’ needs, and 8000 and 10,000 grits will provide scalpel-like sharpness and mirror-like polish.
