It is in our own valley, the Saurat valley, that you will find the last French maker of natural sharpening stones. \u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t This stone is a schistose sandstone whose fine grain and mineralogical purity allow a sound, perfect edge.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t Pierre a Aiguiser des Pyrenees works two qualities of stone: the hard stone quarried underground and the soft stone taken from an open-cast deposit.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t The hard stone is veined, with the particular feature of darker areas, which have more bite, and lighter areas, which are a little softer.\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t It sharpens faster than the soft stone and is the one to choose when more work is needed. This stone is particularly suited to sharpening axes.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t The soft (smooth) stone is far more uniform, dark grey in colour. It is used for finer, more precise sharpening.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t Pierres 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.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t The Pierre Lisse 240 x 60 x 35 is perfect for sharpening knives flat. Thanks to its weight (1340 g) it will not move while you pass the blade over it. You can then concentrate fully on your technique.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t To visit the maker's website, click here.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pierre à Aiguiser des Pyrénées","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52636669706587,"sku":"PIE-2406035LIS","price":45.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1001\/6735\/2667\/files\/pierre-lisse-240x60x40-zx1200.jpg?v=1774094448","url":"https:\/\/www.pyrene-bushcraft.com\/en\/products\/pierre-a-aiguiser-des-pyrenees-smooth-stone-240-x-60-x-35","provider":"Pyrene Bushcraft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
