Any 11.5" x 2.5" stone will work in the IM313. Here are some replacement stones if you want to match the original grits: www.sharpeningsupplies.com/collections/norton/products/norton-crystolon-replacement-stone-for-im313 www.sharpeningsupplies.com/collections/norton/products/norton-india-replacement-stone-for-im313 www.sharpeningsupplies.com/collections/arkansas-stones/products/soft-arkansas-replacement-stone-fits-norton-im313

by the way, one of the best ways to clean the oilstones is with your regular 72% hard soap (laundry soap). apply some liberal amount (just rub the soap against the stone) and then scrub lightly with the soft brush or wash it with your hands

the absolute best stone is medium crystolon/fine india combination stone. i know you carry it but here in germany its impossible to find
