Flattening Stone Mold

Yesterday we posted to see if anyone could identify this item. We had some creative guesses, some very close guesses, and even some accurate answers.

As some of you knew, this is the mold that we used to make the Double-Time Flattening Stone. It is our old mold and it’s made of tool steel. That piece along with all of the other parts of the mold (not pictured) weigh a whopping 90 pounds. Our new and improved mold is made of carbide. Since the mold shown is no longer used, we just keep it around the shop as an interesting part of our company history.

We are proud to say that the Double-Time Flattening Stone is made and designed in the USA.

Received my Sharpening System today,(Norton IM83) and I've got to tell you that I am excited about using this product. I've been in the meat cutting business for 45 years, and as you can imagine, I've used allot of different types and styles of sharpening equipment. I have had 3 Norton Multi-Oil Stone units in my lifetime, and then I see this IM83 and I think that this is what I need to carry with me when and wherever I go. I just LOVE this little box full of expertise equipment to keep me sharp and at a razors edge. Thank you for the service, it was fast and easy, and I received it within 3 days of ordering. I know knives and how they work, and I can't wait to start putting that edge on my "other" knives I own.
