Spyderco Ceramic Stone Grit

I wanted to judge by the scratch pattern and not the grit identifiers like fine or extra fine grit because the stones were a diamond and a ceramic material.

Spyderco ceramic stone grit. It comes with a protective suede carry case that doubles as a non slip base during use. And i wasn t even familiar with double stuff. Ceramic file slip stone. Dmt extra fine rated at 9 micron.

So a while back i used dmt shapton glass and spyderco stones and compared the scratch patternes. I m basing this on the white spyderco slip stone i own which is rated at fine. This directly from spyderco. The ceramic is faster than arkansas and finder than diamond.

A approximate grit for the spyderco high alumina ultra fine ceramic is 2 000 fine is 1 800 and medium is 600. Spyderco s fine grit white ceramic pocket stone is compact lightweight and ideal for touching up edges in the field. I put them in the following progression for my use if i were to use each one. My guess is that it is the same as the other spyderco ceramic stones.

This is simply an amazing sharpening stone. It features a ultra fine grit design and measures 8 l x 3 w x 1 4 h. And from the grain unified chart. This spyderco knife sharpening stone can be used dry and is easily cleaned.

Had to look it up. Especially with ceramic which spyderco doesn t even apply a grit or micron rating. Grit comparisons involving an arkansas stone are very iffy. This is by far the easiest quickest and most effective stone that i have used.

Spyderco has been in the ceramic stone business for awhile they ve had good reviews from professional knife guys but never seem to have caught on. The original side is medium and the side i took the atoma to cuts finer. I hot rodded mine by taking a 400 grit atoma to the one side. Before spyderco ever made knives we manufactured the tools to keep them sharp.

Our sharpening stones are made of high alumina ceramic. Spyderco s state of the art sharpening system and accessories can help give you the edge you need. So i started with the dmt fine grit stone and progressed in the. I have other sharpening devices such as the lansky deluxe 5 stone spyderco sharpmaker lansky ceramic rods arkansas stones etc.

Probably as fine as the fine spyderco. There is not actual grit rating for these style of stones because a grit refers to the size of the abrasive particles in a sandpaper. Seems like it s worth a try to me especially if it s your money and not mine. It is virtually idiot proof and quickly puts a razor sharp edge on my knives.

You probably know better than i do that the spyderco products use ceramics and as such it is sort of difficult to give them a grit rating. Spyderco uses only top notch white high alumina ceramic to insure long lasting quality.
