Longer length, smoother sharpening.

Professional-Grade Stone for Effortless, Precise Sharpening

Most commercially available sharpening stones for garden tools are short, limiting your sharpening stroke and making it harder to achieve a stable, even edge. This 175 mm long stone, designed under the supervision of a master shear maker, solves that problem. Its generous size allows smoother, more controlled movements, helping you restore a consistently sharp cutting edge with less effort.

Designed for Both Large & Small Tools

26 mm face – Ideal for large shears such as hedge and topiary shears.
16.5 mm face – Perfect for smaller tools such as pruning scissors.
