Description
Set of three natural A Pedra Das Meigas BL-120 sharpening stones, 24x7x3 cm, supplied in a blister. For water sharpening.
Sharpening on these natural stones gives outstanding results, with perfectly graded grits. The kit is made up of the coarse-grinding (700), refining (1200) and polishing (4000, estimated) grits. Each stone is marked with the role it plays within the set. The stone sizes are ideal for sharpening knives, pocket knives and carpentry tools, in both carbon and stainless steels.
Always sharpen with water — never with oil.
These are natural stones and must be used wet, with water, never oil: oil would clog them and, over time, render them unusable.
How to use
Place the non-slip base on your workbench and the stone on top of it, then run the knife or cutting tool across the stone. The thickness of the stone keeps your handle and fingers clear as they glide over it.
Tip
To extend the life of the stones, use the edges for the coarsest work and then refine the edge more precisely on the flat faces.
Maintenance
Simply let the sharpening stones dry after use and store them in their original packaging.
Resurfacing the faces
Place a sheet of coarse-grit sandpaper (for example 40/60) on a flat surface and slide the stone over it, wet, with water.

For flattening the stones, needed every so often, we stock the following flattening stones:
If you are new to sharpening with stones, you may want a guide for the first few times until you get the feel for holding the angle freehand:

Las piedras funcionan perfectamente afilan que es su cometido principal.
Son de buen tamaño y están muy bien cortadas y pulidas buena presentación.
Dicho esto la que más me gusta es la de pulir, 4000 aproximada, no obstante lo hace muy bien, deja muy buenos filos, la de 1200 me da la sensación que se deshace bastante al afilar, seguiré probando.
En resumen son distintas a otras piedras que he probado las recomiendo es una experiencia de afilado distinto.

Siguiendo la recomendación de Cuchillalia opté por estas piedras, aún no puedo hacer una valoración más profunda de ellas, dado que es la primera vez que he afilado con piedras, pero me ha funcionado bastante bien y creo que con la práctica conseguiré muy buenos resultados. Atención al cliente y proceso de compra impecables, transporte rápido.
