Norton Abrasives

When your workflow involves high-volume prep or heavy-duty butchery, a standard 8-inch stone simply doesn't offer the surface area needed for efficiency. The Norton 12-inch Crystolon Benchstone (Model JUM3) is the industry's answer for maintaining large-format cutlery. Built from premium Silicon Carbide, this stone is specifically engineered for speed. Unlike aluminum oxide stones which prioritize a smooth feel, Crystolon is fast-cutting and aggressive, making it the superior choice for repairing chipped edges or resetting a primary bevel on dull blades. This stone features a dual-surface design that covers the two most critical stages of sharpening. The coarse 120-grit side is your 'reset' button, capable of grinding away nicks and straightening rolled edges with minimal strokes. Once the geometry is restored, flipping to the 320-grit fine side allows you to refine the edge to a professional working finish. Because of its massive 11.5-inch length, you can maintain a consistent angle through the entire pull of a long scimitar or breaking knife, a feat nearly impossible on smaller stones. Whether you are a high-volume line cook or a home enthusiast with a collection of heavy German steel, this stone provides the stability and abrasive power to keep your tools at peak performance without the need for hours of labor.
