This stone is particularly suited to sharpening axes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe soft stone is far more uniform, dark grey in colour. It is used for finer, more precise sharpening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePierres a Aiguiser des Pyrenees can be used dry, but also with water (which we recommend) - the contact with the blade is then a little gentler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pierre Ideale 2 Grains 120 x 25 x 12 has one polished face, which gives you two levels of coarseness.\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t It is hard to quote a grit for natural stones.\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t The maker reckons roughly that the smooth face of the Ideale 2 Grains corresponds to about 800\/1000 grit (some find it finer) and the rough face to about 320\/400.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupplied with a leather case (brown or orange), this stone is perfect to take along and will let you sharpen knives and axes in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo visit the maker's website, click here.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pierre à Aiguiser des Pyrénées","offers":[{"title":"Brown","offer_id":52765220766043,"sku":"PIE-I2GPMCUIR_Marron","price":17.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Orange","offer_id":52765220798811,"sku":"PIE-I2GPMCUIR_Orange","price":17.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1001\/6735\/2667\/files\/pierre-ideale-etui-cuir-4-fx1200.jpg?v=1774094429","url":"https:\/\/www.pyrene-bushcraft.com\/en\/products\/pierre-a-aiguiser-des-pyrenees-ideal-stone-2-grits-120-x-25-x-12-leather-case","provider":"Pyrene Bushcraft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
