You’re absolutely right — “elbor” is another name for CBN (Cubic Boron Nitride), commonly used in Eastern Europe and Ukraine.
Why elbor/CBN is better or more expensive:
✔ Can be used dry
✔ Delivers excellent sharpening results
✔ Lower risk of damaging the knife bevel
✔ Extremely durable and efficient on hard steels
It’s a top-tier abrasive, especially valued by professionals and enthusiasts.
