Swix Gummy Stone

Gummy stones are often overlooked when starting side-edge and base-edge work. Using a Gummy Stone is an efficient way to detune (slightly dull) the tip and tail area and to remove micro-burrs from filing. Be careful when using gummy stones as they can dull your edges if used too extensively. Use light pressure flush to the edge angle to minimize unwanted detuning.

• Soft Grey Gummy is great for removing rust and burrs
• Hard Red Gummi Stone is perfect for polishing and light to medium edge clean up
• Extra hard Blue Gummy is used after filing to remove micro burrs
