Description: |
An vitrified-bond artificial sharpening stone has a porous structure that can absorb quite a bit of oil. The innovation here is to saturate the stone with a semisolid material such as wax or petrolatum (Vaseline), which prevents the stone from soaking up oil and also provides some lubrication if the stone is used dry. |
