Resin bonded diamond stones for sharpening knives on Hapstone guided sharpening systems.
Abrasive
Diamond sharpening stones offer excellent performance when sharpening knives made from any steel.
Construction
Orion Series consists of a 3 mm-thick diamond-bearing plate on an aluminum base.
Binder
Bonded diamonds provide better feedback and give the sharpening stone a much longer lifespan compared to coated diamonds.
Orion Series
The diamond-bearing plate contains evenly distributed diamond grains with resin bonding.
Orion series is available in 8 grits from F60 to F2000. F60 to F240 utilize legacy binder with 100% diamond concentration. F400 to F2000 utilize OCB binder with 25% or 100% diamond concentration. 25% diamond concentration is better for scratch-free sharpening. 100% diamond concentration is better for high performance.
Use
Venev Diamonds are recommended to be used with water as a lubricant for the best feedback. The diamond layer does not absorb water, so it is enough to splash water on the stone surface.
Dry use
Dry usage is acceptable, although it results in faster wearing and speeds up stone loading.
FAQ
Lapping improves the sharpening quality of fine OCB diamonds, but it is not mandatory. Lapping can also eliminate the break-in period after purchase. Lapping is strongly recommended for OCB 2000.
Coated diamonds have all diamond grains on the surface, maximizing performance. Bonded diamonds spread the diamond grains through the whole volume and work similarly to conventional abrasives. Only bonded diamonds can be flattened, lapped, repaired, or refreshed. Bonded diamonds are universal, able to sharpen any steel, and provide much better feedback and a longer lifespan.
Yes. Venev diamonds are universal and wear extremely slowly on both hard and soft steel.
Theoretically, yes. However, sharpening ceramic knives is technically difficult and uneconomical in most cases. Diamond stones can cause microchipping when used on ceramics.
No. Coated diamond technology is more common because it is lower cost. Bonded diamond technology is more advanced and more expensive.
