Intro To Oil Stones: You Need These in Your Kitchen

[@bcbloc02]

A good clean well oiled stone really cuts nice. Keeping them cleaned and not loaded up makes all the difference.

[@nicke.3782]

I went on a website to buy a Norton Combination Crystolon Stone and it did not say to use oil or water. I also watched another video where somebody sharpened a knife using a combination crystolon stone using nothing. My question is... What should I do? Dry-Water or Oil???

[@garfoonga1]

Usually a stone will come with a small paper that outlines its proper use. Rule of thumb though, if its called an oil stone, put oil on it. Even if it isnt required, you wont harm the stone or knife. Just be sure whether you have an oil stone or water stone. Edit. Mineral oil is best.

[@nicke.3782]

@@garfoonga1 Thank you for the response. It was very helpful.

[@christopherskipp1525]

What's the best in 2024 to purchase Norton oil stone products? Thank you.

[@TheKellisunshyne]

Poor guy was so nervous I was on the edge of my seat.

[@Divici02623]

I’d be too. You see how sharp that thing was👀

[@krisdwight78]

I've been a chef for about 20 years and love sharpening my knives. I recently found an old oil tri-stone that I thought I'd lost after about 5 years and was wondering if you have any tips on bringing my stones back. I'd love to use them again, thanks!

[@NortonAbrasives]

You should be able to get your stones back to good working order with a little bit of cleaning. We recommend cleaning it with a solvent like kerosene or paint thinner and a small brush to open the surface. If the stones are severely damaged we offer replacement stones that can be installed in your tri-stone base.

[@Lemon_Sage9999]

Also if they're thick enough, you can get a flattening stone to get them on a plane

[@WOLF333]

THANKS MAN. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. 🙌🏻🤘🏻 MUCH 👍🏻 APPRECIATED

[@joshbrown5328]

Can you do a chef kitchen knife tutorial?

[@DANVIIL]

I'm surprised no mention of creating a burr and how to get rid of the burr. You can't create a sharp edge without knowledge of the burr and its removal.

[@angiebaggett9223]

WHAT KIND OF OIL DID YOU USE?? GIVE ME DETAILS!!

[@tobydc3456]

Yeah what type

[@MrRourk]

The manufacturer recommends Norton Mineral Oil Those stones come pre soaked in it. However you need more to sharpen with the stone.

[@dremwolf5419]

How about a video showing how to flatten a stone?

[@Cat-fp7jw]

Use sandpaper On a flat surface

[@Erv360]

Can I use cooking oil instead of general purpose oil?

[@4sardo]

?????

[@radoslawjocz2976]

I would like to know the best method to avoid load up and glazing the oil stones

[@NortonAbrasives]

You should always use a lubricant like oil or water when you sharpen to minimize loading. If your stone does get loaded and glazed over we recommend cleaning it with a solvent like kerosene or paint thinner and a small brush to open the surface.

[@-IE_it_yourself]

does plain and simple Balistol oil work?

[@bamafaninky861]

After using dawn I'm assuming you need to rinse soap off with water. Is that an issue putting water on an oil impregnated stone? Can you use water and dawn as a lubricant instead of oil?

[@angiebaggett9223]

GOOD QUESTION!!

[@generaltsao2616]

No clean your stone with soap and hotwater

[@felecy9]

Cleaning an oil stone especially one that is set in that tri-stone set up is really a pain, I wish you all would show us how to clean them. Since it's supposed to be easy, maybe you guys could help me figure out what I'm doing incorrectly.

[@mikeeaster3443]

I was going to say something rude but your subscriptions make you A-OK!

[@gmlo719]

you can use naphta/lighter fluid or acetone to clean the stones

[@zenrazor659]

Yes, it's fine to use oil with the stones. However, once you've used oil on a stone, you should always use oil with that stone. This is what declares Shapton's site . So Should I use a diamond stone just with oil to flat or clean it? After I can't more use water on rhe diamind stone?

[@vijayantgovender2045]

What oils can I use on my oil stone

[@law1469]

I would like to know as well please?Thanks

[@TheKellisunshyne]

Norton sells and recommends their line for their stones.

[@johnnyboydianno]

Unscented baby oil is good Norton oil is just mineral oil with a hint of kerosene cheers

[@OneCanisLupus]

Baby oil. Works great.

[@DaryooshF.Sh.P-vq6mu]

Hello Sir. What about storing them in oil?

[@swapnilmule3922]

How to bring new abrasive grains on that stone becoz after rubbing metal for some time that surface becomes non abrasive..

[@SaltySeaDaddy]

Demo lapping and regular maintenance. That would be nice.

[@leonaowen9234]

Hi I found my dads OLD prob 80 yrs old he has passed so has not been used 30 yrs still in original box. Norton India Oilstone. Could I use it to sharpen my kitchen knives and would I clean it with dawn and what type of oil would I use, thanks

[@NortonAbrasives]

Great find! Yes, you can certainly use this stone to sharpen your kitchen knives. Dawn should work to clean up any oil/metal residue on the stone, or you can use any other degreaser, like kerosene. A small brush will help to open up the surface. When you are ready to start sharpening, you can use any light grade mineral oil as a lubricant. We sell Norton brand sharpening oil - a formulation that works especially well for sharpening - but you can certainly successfully sharpen with other types of mineral oil.

[@Txking187]

What kind of oil

[@muhammedk470]

Can u get a razor sharp edge with a stone like that and a DIY strop?

[@-IE_it_yourself]

maybe not for shaving you face, but to can get shaving sharp with a 200/600 grit stone and a strop

[@mudassarshaik3416]

Can we use cooking oil or coconut hair oil ?

[@lioneld7291]

Use cutting oil

[@FOR_THE_Pascal.]

I love it!

[@american1911]

Can you run Norton India stones through a normal dishwasher cycle to clean them?

[@trishdawson2156]

Most Norton stones are sold impregnated with oil. The heat of a dishwasher will make the oil quite runny and flow out of the stone. You will likely have some oil residue in your dishwasher and no oil left in your stone

[@andrewpearce4249]

The caption blocked the view of the knife.

[@gavinharbath2553]

Also would ,and this may sound very strange would olive oil work?

[@NortonNice]

I'm no expert, but here is my two cents: Olive oil may be a little too thick (viscous). Also, olive oil, being a food product, may turn rancid and oxidize if exposed to air for too long. I've had good luck with food-grade mineral oil, which can be found fairly easily. It seems to me that the key to a good oil is finding one that will suspend the tiny steel particles shed from the blade. If the oil is too thin, the particles will settle into the stone and make it dirty. If the oil is too thick, it might not lubricate well enough.

[@mikeeaster3443]

Did this guy have a gun pointed at him filming this?

[@abrarfaisalhaque9944]

Can i use only water for Norton silicon carbide oil stones?

[@gmlo719]

you can use dish soap for oil stones it works pretty much the same

[@Divici02623]

Thanks

[@ardvarkkkkk1]

Every oil stone needs an OAR ( Oily Ass Rag).

[@mfreeman313]

I'm going to tend to believe a guy who works for the outfit but just have to say a _lot_ of folks who seem to know what they're doing say don't don't don't use soap or detergent. They never say why, whether they've had bad experiences or it's just something their dads always told them or what.

[@NortonAbrasives]

Thank you for the comment. It really comes down to preference and what provides you with the best results you are looking for. We advise using a degreaser or a small amount dish soap to clean the surface in order to clean off extra oil/lubricant in wet sharpening, but to also clean off the swarf (metal filings) for those that sharpen dry. This process could reduce some of the initial oil impregnated into the stone, but this is countered by simply adding some extra oil once cleaned. If possible, experiment to see what gives you the best results and we would love to hear back!”

[@generaltsao2616]

What type oil buddy cmon

[@emmakeeley3677]

34 seconds in and I’d seen enough!

[@gavinharbath2553]

What about machetes?

[@davekimbler2308]

Nice to know! I’ve been sharpening wrong for years , I’ll try your method tonight !

[@rickwhitson2804]

I love my Indian stone. I can't say one negative thing about it

[@jimprior5700]

ALL THAT INFO AND HE DIDN'T AYNYTHING ABOUT THE KIND OF OIL TO USE????

[@deedevarney]

How to sharpen tomahawks & gladius swords would make a great video.

[@Third_Eye_on_the_Sky]

Alright I was using this process however I think I over did the lawn shears lol! They are sharp though thanks I am confident enough now to graduate to Webelo level peon blade scratcher only in theory though those guys can tie a turk's head knot build a bowdrill and start a fire without a torch all while being molested by scout leader uncle touchy gropes! I gotta admit that takes finesse experience and skill, no homo. So maybe next year fingers crossed!

[@ezrabrooks12]

THIRD EYE///// FUNNY SHIT!!!!!!!

[@genec99]
