SILICONE CARBIDE (SC) OIL FILLED STONE V’S NON-OIL FILLED STONE

The oil filled stone is self-lubricating, however it is still recommended that oil is used when sharpening.

The non-oil filled stone requires a lot more lubrication and various other lubrications can be used for sharpening such as water for example.

SILICONE CARBIDE (SC) V’S ALLUMINIUM OXIDE (AO)

Silicon Carbide is preferred for faster stock removal if the knife is chipped or highly blunt whereas Aluminium Oxide is preferred to finish the edge being a slower cutting stone.
