India dual-grit stones are made with aluminum oxide abrasive that provides light material removal for deburring and cutting edge preparation. Oilstones are lubricated using abrasive stone oil to push the loosened abrasive and metal shavings away from the stone's surface to create a smooth, polished blade. Oil is applied to surface before sharpening and generally takes longer to sharpen than waterstones.

Handheld India dual-grit oilstones provide high control over the angle and contact when sharpening blades and small cutting edges. India stones are made with aluminum oxide abrasive that provides light material removal for deburring and cutting edge preparation. Oilstones are lubricated using abrasive stone oil to push the loosened abrasive and metal shavings away from the stone's surface to create a smooth, polished blade. Oil is applied to surface before sharpening and generally takes longer to sharpen than waterstones.

India/soft Arkansas dual-grit oilstones have one abrasive on each side of the stone, each having a different grit. India stones are made with aluminum oxide abrasive that provides light material removal for deburring and cutting edge preparation. Soft Arkansas is used for final honing to create a sharp, long lasting cutting edge. Oilstones are lubricated using abrasive stone oil to push the loosened abrasive and metal shavings away from the stone's surface to create a smooth, polished blade. Oil is applied to surface before sharpening and generally takes longer to sharpen than waterstones.

India/Crystolon dual-grit oilstones have one abrasive on each side of the stone, each having a different grit. India stones are made with aluminum oxide abrasive that provides light material removal for deburring and cutting edge preparation while producing a good finish. Crystolon is a silicon carbide abrasive that provides quick stock removal to create a smooth, consistent edge before honing to create a sharp cutting edge. Oilstones are lubricated using abrasive stone oil to push the loosened abrasive and metal shavings away from the stone's surface to create a smooth, polished blade. Oil is applied to surface before sharpening and generally takes longer to sharpen than waterstones.

Crystolon dual-grit oilstones are made of silicon carbide abrasive that provides quick stock removal to create a smooth, consistent edge before honing to create a sharp cutting edge. Oilstones are lubricated using abrasive stone oil to push the loosened abrasive and metal shavings away from the stone's surface to create a smooth, polished blade. Oil is applied to surface before sharpening and generally takes longer to sharpen than waterstones.

Handheld Crystolon dual-grit oilstones provide high control over the angle and contact when sharpening blades and small cutting edges.

Handheld Crystolon dual-grit utility oil stones quickly remove stock to create and hone cutting edges. Handheld utility oil stones provide high control over the angle and contact when sharpening blades and small cutting edges. Crystolon is a silicon carbide abrasive that provides quick stock removal to create a smooth, consistent edge before honing to create a sharp cutting edge.

Dual-grit waterstones have a different grit on each side of the stone to make multiprocess sharpening quicker and reduce storage space. Waterstones (sometimes called whetstones) are soaked in water before they can be used for sharpening and to prevent cracking. They sharpen quicker than oilstones and require less overall maintenance.
