Description: Learn why the New Double Time Flattening Stone is essential for flattening water stones.
When we set out to create the ultimate flattening stone, our objectives were to create the best flattening stone possible, while still keeping it affordable. We met our goals and we're happy to show you the finished product.
When creating the stone, we first had to define what made a great flattening stone. We came up with 5 important factors.
When our flattening stone is made, care is taken to ensure that it comes out of the mold flat. That flatness is critical because that is what determines how flat you can make your stone. We take two additional steps when ours are made. First, each stone is hand lapped to ensure flatness. It takes time to do it, but that is the only way to make it flatter. Second, each stone is precisely measured to ensure flatness. If it doesn't pass the test, it is sent back for additional lapping.
