Boride T2 Sharpening Stone Medium-hard bonded aluminum oxide stone for high-alloy tool steels, stainless steels, and everyday kitchen knives up to 62 HRC. Steel range For tool and stainless steels Boride T2 is engineered for high-alloy tool steels and stainless steels up to 62 HRC. Abrasive Bonded aluminum oxide The aluminum oxide abrasive on a medium-hard bond provides controlled cutting and a stable sharpening feel. Finish Fast cut, satin edge Special factory impregnation helps the stone cut fast while leaving a refined satin edge. Application A dependable everyday sharpening stone Boride T2 is a practical choice for powder metallurgy steels, high-carbon steels, stainless steels, and most common kitchen knives.
