This block is to replace the old oilstone you all know so well. Thing is, this one achieves an edge in half the time, and can also be used to “grind” down highly worn tools such as axes, pruners, etc. Block is 2” x 6” (5cm x 15cm) mounted on a quality walnut pedestal. This is really the way to sharpen all your tools and knives. Well worth the cost.
