Shopping CartBoker's line of original Japanese sharpening stones, also known as benchstones, are the perfect tool to maintain and restore your blades to the highest possible level of sharpness. Product Features: The secret of the world-famous sharpness and edge retention of Japanese blades is based on the quality of the steel and the manufacturing processes that were brought to perfection over hundreds of years. Nevertheless, even the best blades need some care and maintenance on a regular basis. The stones consist of a water soluble matrix - by wetting the stone before use, fresh sharpening particles are permanently exposed during the sharpening process, which creates maximum sharpening ability. The stones should be handled according to the traditional method of Japanese sharpening, and never used without water. Available in three models, Coarse 600 grit, Medium 1,000 grit, and Fine 1,500 grit. The Coarse 600 works well for reshaping dull blades or small nicks in the blade. The Medium 1,000 is ideal for honing, creating razor sharp blades. The Fine 1,500 hones the highest performance blades to their maximum sharpness. Please choose the benchstone you need from the drop down menu above the product description.

A giant chestnut tree, shading the small Boker tool factory in Remscheid in the 17th century, is the oldest traceable symbol connected with the Boker family. Thriving during the age of sabers, the Boker factory in Germany was producing as many as 2,000 pieces a week by the early 1800's. Their success led the company to expand to North America around the time of our Civil War, while continuing their operations in Europe. The company enjoys a well deserved reputation around the world these days, highlighted by the chestnut tree on their logo that has endured since 1869. Through all the years the craftsmen at Boker have never lost sight of their heritage, striving to produce only the very best. Taken care of properly, Boker gear will be the last you or your family will ever need to buy. As we like to point out, an item you only need purchase once, that does its job well, is one of the greenest decisions you can make. You May Also Like...
