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:

Señores Cuchillalia:
Las piedras naturales que les compré, BL-120 de A Pedras das Meigas, a mi juicio, son de las mejores que existen en el mundo, tal como lo ha predicado don Arturo Lafuente en sus ilustrativos vídeos; y, por ello, se las encargué a una amiga, pues yo vivo en Bogotá, D. C. ¡Cuánta falta hace en este país una tienda como la de ustedes! donde se consiga variedad de piedras de afilar de distintas granulaciones (grit), pues en el mercado nacional solo se encuentran entre 120 y 320 (Carborundum). Estoy convencido de que dichas piedras son excelentes, y la atención y celeridad de Cuchillalia fuera de serie.
