Natural Sharpening Stones
Natural Sharpening Stones
These premium natural finishing stones are essential for achieving a flawless, razor-sharp edge on shechita knives. Each stone is meticulously prepared for shechita use—polished to an ultra-fine grit between 10,000 and 20,000, and carefully rounded at the edges to prevent nicks or damage during use.
-
American & Black Natural Stones: Approximate grit range of 10,000+
-
Green Natural Stone: Our finest option, with an exceptional grit range of approximately 15,000+
All three stones are packaged in custom-made protective sheaths for added durability and user comfort. The Black and Green stones also come mounted on non-slip rubber bases for enhanced stability during use.
While it is customary for shochtim to purchase both the Green and Black natural stones, each of these finishing stones is fully capable of delivering the superior edge required for proper shechita.
Natural stones should be worked with a small piece of 1500#-2000# grit wet sandpaper (included with purchase) before each use.

Our knives are hand-thinned after hardening to create an ultra-thin, easy to sharpen and durable edge.
We use only top-quality high-carbon stainless steel for our professional line, ensuring lasting sharpness and strength. Each professional knife features a full tang, a high-quality epoxy handle, and solid brass bolsters.
Our student knives are crafted from a softer, lower-grade steel—still good in quality—designed to provide reliable performance and easy maintenance. They also feature a plastic half tang handle.
