Three-grit sharpening systems hold three sharpening stones with progressively finer grits to speed sharpening and keep needed stones close at hand. The triangular-shaped sharpening surface rotates to expose a different stone. India stones are made with aluminum oxide abrasive that provides light material removal for deburring and cutting edge preparation while producing a good finish. Crystolon is a silicon carbide abrasive that provides quick stock removal to create a smooth, consistent edge before honing to create a sharp cutting edge. The base elevates the sharpening surface to provide knuckle clearance and make it easier to manipulate blades. A reservoir catches dust and oil drips to keep work surfaces clean.
