Economy Tool & Knife Sharpener.
I paid $6 for the one I have been messing with, others $7.
Now I tried to find Norton's description in their Library with a link.
This Stock number was listed, just the library did have it, and instead started with with 87935.
So here is what I do have with a description:
Ace Hardware website:
* All purpose combination bench stone
* Sharpens flat bladed tools and household utinsels.
* Coarse grit on one side, fine grit on the other.
* Electric furnace abrasive
* Combination coarse and fine grit
* Quick-cut economy
* Not oil filled
* Size: 6x 3x 3/4" [/QUOTE]
The ones we bought have a newer package, similar, still this is the Economy.
Norton makes a round one, about 3 or inches in diameter about 1/2 maybe 3/4" thick. Often times called a "puck".
I /we wanted one, but the store was out.
Not oil filled. This is why I had to have this stone.
I use a dry hone and this not being pre-filled, is exactly what I wanted, as do others.
One side is light gray, the other a brown.
Now, this stone has a place in non-firearm weapons and edged tools.
*Not every task needs a scary sharp edge, with a high polish.
*Getting a damaged edge fixed , means taking something to get metal removed fast.
Files work, and in fact a file is great for some machetes , these stones used after a file to get a more finished edge, and this type of stone, will work for getting a damaged edge fixed and getting a edge back on fast.
We are not going to be entering any paper cutting or rope cutting contests.
We need a stone, down on the back forty in a shed to sharpen.
Maybe one in truck tool box, that hunting /fishing cabin, weekend get-a-way with a trailer on the lake...garage in the big city ...
Now here is my take and others I run with on edged tools.
We are not planning on a knife fight.
What we know is having a sharp tool when we need it.
Emergencies hit, such as the recent tornadoes, and getting an edge on something and maintaining it, while cutting carpet, tarp, blankets, rope and the like, is a real situation.
You might hear someone call out , even a baby cry, and getting under rumble and cutting through carpet, curtains to get to that person/baby is serious.
We view knives as users, these will get scratched, dinged and subjected to use.
We lost some stones kept here and there during a recent tornado.
Some were in sheds, and a few, we most likely in doing what all we did, let them fall out of a truck, or who knows.
Now let me share some of what I and some other have already used these stones for, and what all we have.
