About this sharpening stone

The Norton 1000/8000 Grit Combination Sharpening Stone is designed for makers who want efficiency, consistency, and precision in their sharpening routine. By combining two essential grits into a single stone, it simplifies tool maintenance without sacrificing results.

The 1000 grit side handles edge restoration and routine sharpening, while the 8000 grit side refines the edge to a smooth, polished finish. This progression makes it easy to move from repair to refinement in one continuous workflow, keeping tools sharp and ready for accurate work.

Performance & use cases

Sharpening is about control as much as sharpness, and this Norton stone delivers both. The waterstone formulation absorbs water evenly, creating a responsive surface that provides clear tactile feedback as you work. This makes it easier to maintain consistent angles and pressure, whether you’re restoring a worn edge or polishing a finely set bevel.

Start with the 1000 grit side to remove small chips, reshape bevels, or refresh dull blades. This grit cuts efficiently without feeling aggressive, making it suitable for regular maintenance as well as light repair work. Once the edge is established, switching to the 8000 grit side refines the surface, reducing friction and improving cutting performance. The result is an edge that feels smooth, controlled, and precise in use.

In woodworking workshops across the UAE, this stone supports accurate joinery, cleaner cuts, and better tool control. It’s equally useful in kitchens and hobby spaces, where reliable sharpening improves safety and efficiency. From chisels and plane irons to carving tools and knives, this combination stone adapts easily to different tools and sharpening styles.
