Gränsfors Natural Whetstone (Model 4035): Timeless Sharpening Excellence with Traditional Materials

Elevate your sharpening routine with the Gränsfors Natural Whetstone (Model 4035). Expertly crafted by Gränsfors Bruk, this premium whetstone combines historical craftsmanship with two unique natural materials, delivering superior performance for maintaining your axes and tools.

Premium Natural Materials for Superior Sharpening

The Gränsfors Natural Whetstone is comprised of two distinct natural materials, each chosen for their specific grinding qualities:

• Coarse Side (Sandstone from Orsa, Sweden): This side features sandstone with a grain size ranging from 120 to 200 grit. A fossil-free sedimentary rock predominantly made of silica-bound quartz, this sandstone has been utilized as a sharpening stone since the 1500s. Its coarse, slightly porous surface is ideal for restoring the edge’s original geometry and beginning the sharpening process.

• Fine Side (Slate from Los, Sweden): The fine side is made from a fine-grained slate unique to Los, Sweden, with a grain size between 500 and 1000 grit. Known for its smooth and hard surface, this slate has been used as a whetstone since the late 1800s. It is perfect for achieving an extremely sharp edge with excellent bite.

User-Friendly Design

The whetstone is designed with user comfort and ease of use in mind:

• Shape: The rectangular shape with beveled edges provides a firm grip, making it easy to sharpen edges by following the existing bevel and grind angle.
• Leather Sheath: Comes with a vegetable-tanned leather sheath from Tärnsjö Garveri in Sweden. The sheath features a small strap for easy attachment to trousers or a backpack, making it ideal for wilderness carry. The leather case can also be used to strop an edge to achieve the highest level of sharpness if used carefully.

Versatile Sharpening Tool

The Gränsfors Natural Whetstone is effective with water to enhance the sharpening process but can also be used dry. Its dual-grit design provides:

• Coarse Side: For initial grinding and edge restoration.
• Fine Side: For final honing and achieving a razor-sharp edge.
