Description

Venev Archer Series Metallic Diamond Sharpening Stones are used for sharpening knives made of any steel using guided knife sharpeners (Hapstone, TSPROF, and other Edge Pro-compatible sharpening systems). Diamond sharpening stones offer excellent performance in sharpening knives of any steel.

Venev Archer consists of a 3mm-thick diamond-bearing plate mounted on an Edge Pro aluminum base. The diamond-bearing plate contains evenly distributed synthetic diamond grains with copper-tin alloy bonding for high endurance and low wearing rate.

All Venev stones use FEPA-F grit classification. Archer series is available in 7 grits: F43 to F1200.

How to use

Metallic Diamonds are recommended to be used with water as a lubricant for the best feedback. The diamond does not absorb water. Splash water on the stone's surface. Dry usage is an acceptable practice, although it results in faster wearing and speeds up stone loading.

Dimensions notation.
Monolayer solid abrasives have 3 numbers: length × width × thickness.
Single-sided abrasives with backing have 4 numbers: length × width × full thickness × thickness of abrasive.
Dual-sided abrasives have 5 numbers: length × width × full thickness × thickness of abrasive #1 × thickness of abrasive #2 (both sides)
If thickness is variable, the minimum thickness is noted.
For curved abrasives, a radius of curvature inmm is added: R40.

Metallic Binders (MMC)
  • M2-01 - Copper-tin bronze alloy.
  • MS-1 - Metal-matrix composite (MMC) - Copper-tin bronze alloy reinforced with silicon carbide.
  • MB-1 - Metal-matrix composite (MMC) - Copper-tin bronze alloy reinforced with boron carbide.
  • MS-1A - Metal-matrix composite (MMC) - Aluminum-copper alloy reinforced with silicon carbide.
Resin Binders
  • B1-10 - Boron-modified phenolic resin (BPF) composite - Made of powdered bakelite, copper additive
  • B2-01 - Boron-modified phenolic resin (BPF) composite - Made of liquid bakelite, iron additive (softer than В1-10)
  • В2-01М - Boron-modified phenolic resin (BPF) composite - Made of liquid bakelite, copper additive (softer than В2-01)
  • OSB (OCB) – A proprietary phenolic resin composite.

(OSB and OCB refer to the same binder; the difference arises from a transliteration quirk of the Cyrillic “ОСБ,” which can be rendered as either “OSB” or “OCB” in Latin script.)
