• What is this Silverline sharpening stone made from?

  It’s ideal for many garden and DIY cutting edges, such as garden tool blades, knives, mower blades and other general-purpose blades that need regular maintenance.

• Is 225mm a good size for hand sharpening?
  Yes 225mm gives you good control and a stable stroke length, making it easier to sharpen consistently without the stone feeling too small or awkward.

• Can it sharpen very blunt blades?
