The **KME Gold Series diamond-coated sharpening stone ‘the Beast’ extremely coarse, 50 grit** is the coarsest diamond-coated sharpening stone from the KME range. As the name might already suggest this sharpening stone is indeed a beast. This stone quickly removes material. That is why we only recommend using this stone to reprofile a heavily damaged edge. This sharpening stone is meant for the [KME Precision Knife Sharpening System, Diamond Stone Kit], the [KME Precision Knife Sharpening System, R.P.S.H. Combo Kit] or the [KME Axe Sharpener Kit].
This diamond-coated sharpening stone is comprised of a metal sheet that contains small synthetic diamonds. Diamond is very hard which means that diamond-coated sharpening stones quickly remove material. Don’t apply too much pressure! The diamonds are placed in a layer of nickel. If you sharpen too hard you push the diamonds out of the sharpening stone.
For most knives and purposes this stone is actually too coarse. To sharpen a blunt knife we recommend the [1000 grit] or [140 grit] sharpening stone. If, however, you want to remove a lot of material, this 50 grit sharpening stone is the beast you have been looking for.
