Rolfes Combination Sharpening Stone

The Rolfes Combination Sharpening Stone is a practical dual-grit sharpening solution for artists, printmakers and craftspeople who rely on sharp cutting tools for accurate work. The stone features two abrasive surfaces: a coarser grit for restoring worn or damaged edges and a finer grit for honing and refining a razor-sharp finish.

Ideal for sharpening lino cutting tools, wood carving gouges, craft knives, chisels and other edged instruments, the stone helps extend tool life while improving cutting performance and safety. Regular sharpening reduces effort during cutting and provides cleaner, more controlled results.

For best performance, soak the stone in water before use and keep the surface wet while sharpening. The compact size makes it suitable for both studio and workshop environments.
