Sharpening stones, or whetstones, are abrasive surfaces used to sharpen andhone the edges of steel cutting implements, such as chisels, knives, scissors,hand scrapers, and plane blades. Sharpening is the process of creating or re-establishing a cutting edge by grinding away portions of the metal to adjustthe angle of the edge and reform the shape. Honing removes smallimperfections. Stones can be flat, for working flat edges, or shaped, foredges that are more complex. When used with lubricating liquid, a sharpeningstone can be called a waterstone or an oilstone, based on the lubricantrequired. Oilstones use sharpening stone oil for lubrication when sharpening,to prevent metal from bonding with the abrasive surface by flushing awaydislodged abrasive and metal chips.
