“Pro” whetstone set | Two whetstones (medium and fine) incl. zinc whetstone cup

This whetstone set, featuring two Zische whetstones and a zinc whetstone case, provides the ideal combination for sharpening your scythes and sickles. It combines two high-quality Zische whetstones – the Silicar Blaumarke (medium) and Silicar Rotmarke (fine) – with a robust, waterproof zinc whetstone case. This ensures you are always ready to reliably hone in the field, under all conditions.

Included in the set:

• Zische Whetstone Medium – Silicar Blaumarke, Grit 220: universally applicable for all scythe blades.
• Zische Whetstone Fine – Silicar Rotmarke, Grit 400: for a fine grind – especially suitable for honing finely peened scythe blades.
• Zinc whetstone holder: waterproof and weather-resistant, with metal mount for attaching to your belt. The whetstone sits permanently in water in the whetstone cup and is therefore always ready for use.

By combining these two grits, you get a flexible whetstone setup for all conditions. Together with the whetstone cup, you have a very good kit for honing.

Application

Fill the whetstone holder with water and attach it to your belt. While mowing, start with the medium-coarse stone to even out the cutting edge, then use the fine stone to create the precise final grind.
