This oil meets U.S. copeia (USP) standards for mineral oil purity. Sharpening stones, or whetstones, are abrasive surfaces used to sharpen and hone the edges of steel cutting implements, such as chisels, knives, scissors, hand scrapers, and plane blades. Sharpening is the process of creating or re-establishing a cutting edge by grinding away portions of the metal to adjust the angle of the edge and reform the shape. Honing removes small imperfections. Stones can be flat, for working flat edges, or shaped, for edges that are more complex. When used with lubricating liquid, a sharpening stone can be called a waterstone or an oilstone, based on the lubricant required. Oilstones use sharpening stone oil for lubrication when sharpening, to prevent metal from bonding with the abrasive surface by flushing away dislodged abrasive and metal chips. Norton Abrasives manufactures sanding, grinding, and polishing abrasives, and has been located in the United States since 1885. Norton, now a brand of Saint-Gobain, meets ISO 9000 and 14001 certification for quality and environmental management standards. From the Manufacturer --------------------- To make your sharpening job easier, try Norton Sharpening Stone Oil. Specially formulated for all types of metal. Norton sharpening stone oil is a natural, highly refined light mineral oil. It is a copia grade oil so it is safe for use on kitchen tools. Mineral oil lubrication is recommended for all Norton oil stones. Oil acts as an effective lubricant during the sharpening process to float away metal and abrasive dust that would otherwise clog up the stone and ultimately render it useless.
