Norton 3 Stone IM313CIS Arkansas System

Popular among professionals, the Norton IM313CIS Tri-Stone System uses a finer Soft Arkansas stone for even finer sharpening.

Convenient System
The Norton IM313CIS features three very large 11-1/2" x 2-1/2" oil stones in a convenient, easy-to-use system. These stones are long enough to handle any knife or tool thrown at them. The sharpening system holds the stones in a heavy-duty plastic base unit that mounts into an oil bath. The oil reservoir keeps the stones that are not being used submerged in the oil so they're ready to use.The system comes with everything you need to get sharpening, 16 ounces of quality Norton Honing Oil are included.

Soft Arkansas Upgrade
The IM313-CIS contains 3 stones:

• A fast cutting Coarse Crystolon Stone
• A Medium India Stone
• A Soft Arkansas Stone

This package is an upgrade from the Norton IM313 Tri-Stone System. It changes the Medium India for the Medium Crystolon and the Fine India for the Soft Arkansas. These stones are finer than the 2nd and 3rd stones in the IM313 and will result in a more highly honed edge.
