The 1×6 Jende Diamond Resin Stone Set encompasses a selection of five distinct grits—15 Micron, 9 Micron, 6 Micron, 3 Micron, and 1 Micron—equivalent to 1K, 2K, 3K, 6K, and 15K grits, respectively. These diamond resin stones exhibit remarkable versatility, catering to all steel types, including ceramic knives. Their primary function involves refining edges, from cleanup to achieving a mirror finish, especially after the usage of coarser Jende or Atoma diamond plates.
Starting with the 15 Micron (~1000 grit), it effectively eradicates deeper scratches, doubling as a maintenance tool, leaving behind a proficient working sharp edge. Progressing to the 9 Micron (~2,000 grit), it further refines edges and initiates polishing, preparing the ground for subsequent refinement and polishing stages.
The 6 Micron (~3,000 grit) elevates the edge’s sharpness and shine significantly, perfect for maintenance sharpening, gearing up for comprehensive mirror finishes. At 3 Micron (~6,000 grit), it becomes pivotal in both edge slicing and mirror polishing, setting the stage for further refinement.
The pinnacle, 1 Micron (~15,000 grit), elevates the edge and mirror finish, paving the way for additional refinement with stones, strops, or Jende diamond films. These splash-and-go stones optimize performance with water and should be air-dried between uses. Sized at 1″ x 6″ x 6mm, they fit standard 1×6 blanks compatible with Jende JIGS for Knives, Edge Pro, Hapstone, and TSProf sharpening systems.
Tips for Optimal Use:
Use a moderate amount of water during sharpening to prevent excessive black swarf buildup, ensuring a faster cutting surface.
For lapping, employ a Jende 2-Sided Glass Lapping Plate and Silicon Carbide powders exclusively, as lapping diamonds to diamond wears down the diamonds without revitalizing the resin stones.
