These CBN Hand Hones are for sharpening plane blades and are made for woodworkers.

  • 1/4" thick steel plate
  • 2.75" x 8" covered with CBN  material - 180 grit one side / 220 grit one side, 350 grit one side / 600 grit one side, or 1000 one side / 1200 one side

Most woodworkers complain that the stones and diamond plates used to sharpen their planes simply are not long enough to get a good stroke. Well—problem solved. These hones are oversized (and they cost less than my competitors), they are a full 8" long by 2.75" wide, made of hefty 1/4" thick steel. Compare these to other face plates that are 6" long and 2" wide.

Overall rating: 4.6666665 / 5 from 21 reviews.

Does it live up to it's description?

"This tool really does a fantastic job!!! I cut a piece of pallet wood to make a stand for it. And now my wife never complains about having a dull kitchen knife, and my pocket knifes have never been shaper. I am not very good at sharpening knives, but this makes it look like I am an expert."

Excellent for sharpening my chisels

"Excellent for sharpening my chisels and router bits. I am very happy about my purchase which I heard about from Stumpy Nubs on YouTube."

— Terence A. (5/5)

Love this !

"Used this for the first time to sharpen a very dull kitchen/ chef knife. Due to the dullness of the knife it took about ten minutes...... but it is razor sharp and now it's only used for fish ."

Holds up to heavy use

"I've been using these for a number of years and work them 3 to 4 times a week getting hand plane blades ready for final edge. I restore and use hand planes size 4 through 8 keeping the edge keen is always a bit of a chore, having a protocol down that I use on all of them keeps my shop is order. I use these to take out the grinder marks and finalize the bevel on the blades before moving to my final edge protocol. This cut the time significantly due to not having to use water or oil and they are easy to clean with a little kerosene and a natural brush."

Best Advie I ever Received

"I was watching a youtube episode of Stumpy Nubs where they were using one of the CBN sharpening stones. Was pretty impressed so I took the chance and bought one. Boy - was I impressed with not only the service but the product. I own a lot of sharpening devices so I'm no rookie to them but after 30 years I finally found a "whetstone" that exceeds all my expectations. I bought the 350grit/600grit plate and it is flat, straight, and does an excellent job on my tools. I had just purchased a set of Japanese chisels and was able to tune them easily with this plate. I'll be buying another one soon. You will not be disappointed - trust me."

Not flat

"The stone I received is not flat. The curve is so bad you can see it. Can’t flatten the backs of plane blades or chisels."

— Dan C. (1/5)
