Sharpening Stone Kirschen Größe 3 3707003 — sharpening/flattening stone, medium grit

Kirschen Größe 3 3707003 is a medium-grit sharpening and flattening stone designed for restoring and maintaining cutting edges on woodworking tools and general-purpose knives. The stone delivers an even abrasive surface that removes burrs, refines profiles and helps prolong tool life. Intended for use with water or a suitable lubricant, it is appropriate for workshop and professional environments where predictable, repeatable sharpening results are required.

Advantages

The medium abrasive surface balances material removal and edge refinement, allowing efficient reprofiling without overly aggressive stock removal. Its flat, stable form supports consistent contact across wide or narrow blades, improving control during sharpening and when flattening larger stones or surfaces. The stone is compatible with common lubricants, enabling customizable sharpening approaches depending on tool condition and user preference.

Suitable for

• Sharpening woodworking plane irons and chisels
• Honing kitchen and outdoor knives to a working edge
• Flattening and truing larger whetstones or stone beds
• General-purpose maintenance in workshops and professional settings

Key specifications

• Abrasive grade: medium grit for balanced cutting and finishing
• Function: sharpening and flattening of metal cutting edges and stones
• Usage medium: intended for use with water or light lubricants
• Form factor: flat bench stone suitable for hand-held sharpening and stone truing
• Durability: designed for repeated use in workshop conditions

How to use

Place the stone on a stable, flat surface or a non-slip holder. Moisten the stone with water or apply a thin film of recommended lubricant before beginning. Hold the blade at the desired bevel angle and move it evenly across the stone using controlled strokes, maintaining consistent pressure and angle. For flattening other stones, rub the stones together or move the stone over the target surface in a crosswise pattern until flatness is achieved. Rinse debris from the stone periodically and reapply lubricant as needed to maintain effective cutting action.

Usage recommendations

Start with a coarser abrasive if significant material removal is required, then use this medium-grit stone to refine the edge. Keep the stone clean and store it dry between uses. Use light to moderate pressure and consistent angles to avoid uneven wear of the stone and the tool edge.
