Ochsenkopf

Ox Head (Ochsenkopf) OX 33-0200 Grindstone Combined grindstone and whetstone made of silicon carbide, with rounded edges With material is considered to be amongst the hardest and best grinding abraisives, and is ideally suited for tools with predominantly flat cutting edges, including axes, hatchets, chisels and knives One side with coarse grain (120) for fast grinding One side with fine grain (320) for fine grinding and honing Uses: -WIth light oil for a fine honed finish -With paraffin for a normal ground finish -With water for a coarser ground finish -Dry for particularly heavy material removal Tips for re-sharpening the blade: Blunted cutting edges can be re-sharpened. When sharpening, it is important to ensure that the original geometry of the cutting edge is retained. First of all run the coarse side of the stone over the cutting edge with circular movements. Then use the fine-grain side to achieve the final sharpening. Different sharpening results can be achieved by use of lubricants, e.g. oil or water.
