KING DELUXE #1200 GRIT MEDIUM SHARPENING WHETSTONE IN SOUTH AFRICA

Features King Deluxe, famous Japanese brand. Fine (#1200) grit enables you to achieve sharp edges. Will not unnecessarily remove material from your expensive bonsai tools. No oil needed, soak in water prior to use. Description It is very important that when we use our bonsai tools to perform any cutting action, they should be as sharp as possible. In fact it is best that you sharpen your tools every time you start to work on a new tree. Failure to work with sharp tools means you will need to use unnecessary force to make cuts, the live tissue or cambium may be damaged which will retard the healing process and if severely blunt you may even damage your tools by attempting to cut with them. How to Use this Whetstone. Soak the whetstone in water for around an1hr. Remove the stone from the water and place on a level surface. As the stone dries rapidly add water when necessary to maintain a sort of wet paste. It should be sufficient to run the tool over the stone around 10 times. Once sharpened be sure to wipe the tool surface with vegetable oil to prevent oxidation/rusting. Dimensions 207mm x 66mm x 34mm
