The KME Sharpener uses specific stones for its sharpening system, and a 1×4 stone size is one of the common configurations used. Water stones for the KME are known for providing excellent sharpening performance, particularly for high-end knife steels.
Options for 1×4 Water Stones for KME:
- KME Diamond Lapping Films: These are thin abrasive sheets that can be mounted onto the KME stone carriers. They provide a very fine finish, ideal for precision sharpening.
- Chosera or Naniwa Water Stones: Some users custom cut these stones down to fit the KME, providing a premium sharpening experience.
- CBN Emulsion Stones: Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) emulsions on water stones offer a unique blend of cutting power and polishing ability.
- KME Venev Bonded Diamond Stones: Although these aren’t traditional water stones, they can be used with water or other lubricants.
Where to Find:
You can often find 1×4 water stones for the KME on specialized knife-sharpening retail sites, such as Gritomatic, Jende Industries, or directly from KME Sharpeners.
