WATER OF AYR STONE 130 x 25mm - TW3025

Offered here are rare and celebrated Water of Ayr sharpening stones, a piece of history from the original workshop on the Dalmore estate in rural Stair, Scotland.

In widespread use since the late 1700s if not before, the Water of Ayr provides an exceptionally precise finish with a grain size ranging from 9000 to 11,000.

This charcoal-gray to black stone, resembling a black Escher, is traditionally used for razors and scalpels.

It offers a silky soft feel during honing and is ideal for razor sharpening.

As new but old stock, each stone comes with rough-sawn surface as cut at the workshop on Dalmore Estate.

These are hand quarried, natural stones, and as such the color, size and shape will vary slightly from stone to stone. 

Size: 130mm x 25mm x 25mm Approx.
