Sharpening stones, or whetstones, are abrasive surfaces used to sharpen and hone 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 adjust the angle of the edge and reform the shape. Honing removes small imperfections. Stones can be flat, for working flat edges, or shaped, for edges that are more complex. When used with lubricating liquid, a sharpening stone can be called a waterstone or an oilstone, based on the lubricant required. Oilstones use sharpening stone oil for lubrication when sharpening, to prevent metal from bonding with the abrasive surface by flushing away dislodged abrasive and metal chips. Norton Abrasives manufactures sanding, grinding, and polishing abrasives, and has been located in the United States since 1885. Norton, now a brand of Saint-Gobain, meets ISO

I originally bought this to get the price up to $25 for free shipping, knowing I might see a use for it someday. Upon receiving the oil and reading the back I saw it could be used as a lubricant for fans. So I thought I would give it a go. It turned a fan that has been running nonstop for two years from a loud rattling noise machine into an exceptionally quiet one. I then used it on an old Dremel and numerous hand tools, it has made them function better than the day I bought them. I have nothing but good things to say about this product.

Norton is a well known name in sharpening and it should come as no surprise that they sell a first class honing oil. It did it's job very nicely and worked well with cleaning up the stone when I had finished. If you try it out I hope it works as well for you as it did for me and thanks for taking the time to read my review.

As you use a stone, inevitably it becomes packed with metal, dirt and whatnot, this oil works perfectly for cleaning it out, and doesnt take much. Just apply a little and use your finger to brush it off, and your good to go! Anybody who buys a norton stone should also consider this with it. Well worth it.

This oil is great lubrication for your sharpining stones, works great on knives and any other cutlery. Safe for kitchen ware ,pocket knives,etc. This I used on the threads of my flashlights to stop friction and rubbed a litte on the rubber o-ring so it doesn't dry out. Almost anything you can use this to lubricate.

I like this product very much. I had been using water with my stones. Water doesn't shed the metal from the stone's pores like this stuff does. You still get metal in the pores but when you hit the stone with a tooth or soft wire brush it cleans right up. Obviously that makes sharpening less laborious and faster. Get some, it's good.

Have used Norton oil before and can't find fault with them. Yes, there's other oil that work just as well so remember that the oil are used to transfer metal shaving into suspension so as not to clog the stone itself.

Works great with my Norton combination bench stone. Shipping was very fast & I got exactly what I paid for. I'm a big fan of the small spout—applies just enough oil to the stone without making a mess. Will buy again for sure.

bought a couple of sharpening stones from my local hardware store but forgot to get the lubricant. This oil performed as described. After a generous squirt on the coarse grit and a minute of vigorous sharpening strokes, my wustoff's are back in top form. i've finished the knives with the fine grit and another squirt of the oil. Perfect and easy to clean afterwards.

Using a lubricant (Sharpening Stone Oil), improves the edge that you can put on a knife and reduces wear on the sharpening stone. The cost of the sharpening stone oil is a modest investment that let's the user get the most out of a sharpening stone.

I use this stuff on my Arkansas sharpening stones. A little goes a long way. I have tried sharpening without using the oil but only when I am in a pinch. It helps in so many ways to use this stuff. I especially like that after sharpening the oil tends to suspend any tiny pieces of the stone and makes clean up a breeze.
