From the Manufacturer
The IM313 sharpening system has long been considered the to be the ultimate sharpening system. The 2-1/2 In wide x 11-1/2 In. long stone permits long strokes for faster more precise sharpening of all straight edge tools. The coarse Crystalon® stone quickly restores badly worn cutting edges; the medium Crystalon® stone produces the average edge needed for many tools and the fine India® stone hones to a sharper edge. The heavy base has a non skid bottom. A pint can of Norton Oil is included with each IM313

Customer Reviews

Top of the line sharpening stone
As a chef, I have had the opportunity to use many types of sharpening systems over the years. In my opinion there is no competition when it comes to sharpening stones. The Norton stone is easy to use and keeps your cutting edge razor sharp with little effort. A multi stone allows you to repair damaged blades (coarse stone), rebuild your blade with the medium stone and finish your edge with the fine stone.

If you are considering a knife sharpening system I highly recommend Norton stones over electric sharpeners. The stone takes a minimum amount of steel off your knives compared to electric sharpeners. An electric sharpener takes the same amount of steel off the blade every pass. You will replace your knives much quicker with an electric sharpener. Protect your investment!

quality stone
the 3 way sharpening stone is great for putting a new edge on your culinary knives. The only downside is you have to be trained in using the stones as sharpeners. There are very little directions in using this product.

Essential for the professional or home enthusiast
I have been working in the professional kitchen for a few years now, and I have used these exact items both in culinary school and in restaurants. I love it, and it's well worth the investment.

A steel merely HONES the edges of a blade, aligning the feathered bits of steel that get ground into the edge of the blade over periods of use or sharperning. This tri-stone truly sharpens even the dullest knives to a razor sharp edge. I use this for my home knives, as well as my pro kitchen knives. It does take a little bit of time to get used to, to get the right angle, etc, but is ultimately easy and self-explanitory. The safest knife is a sharp knife.
