Sharpening fluid lubricates the surface of the stone and helps direct metal particles removed during sharpening away from the surface. This reduces the risk of the stone’s pores or sharpening surface becoming clogged, which would decrease its cutting ability. Is Smith’s Premium Honing Solution suitable for diamond stones? Yes. Diamond stones can often be used dry, but a suitable honing fluid can make the process smoother and help remove metal particles from the sharpening surface. Can Arkansas stones be used dry? Natural Arkansas stones should be used with an appropriate lubricant. Sharpening dry can cause the stone’s pores to become clogged with metal particles, reducing its sharpening effectiveness. Is this regular knife oil? No. Premium Honing Solution is primarily intended for lubricating sharpening stones and facilitating cleaning. It does not replace knife joint lubricants or protective oils intended for long-term blade storage. When is Smith’s Premium Honing Solution the right choice? This honing fluid is a suitable choice when using Arkansas or diamond-coated sharpening stones and you want to reduce metal particles sticking to the sharpening surface. The use of lubricant is especially important on porous natural Arkansas stones, whose working surface can clog more quickly when used dry. If the sharpening stone manufacturer recommends only water, always follow the specific care instructions for your stone. Premium Honing Solution is not necessary for electric sharpeners, pull-through manual sharpeners, or ceramic sharpening rods unless the manufacturer specifically allows the use of fluid. Expert recommendation Before starting to sharpen, apply enough fluid to the cleaned stone so that the entire working surface is evenly covered. During sharpening, monitor the surface: if the fluid becomes dark with metal particles or the stone starts to dry, add a small amount more. More fluid does not necessarily mean better results — the key is an even, but not overly flooded, surface. After sharpening, wipe the fluid and metal particles off the stone before they dry on the surface. If necessary, add a few more drops of solution for cleaning and remove residues with a clean cloth. Do not mix different types of lubricants on the same stone, as their residues can affect the stone’s performance. Always check the sharpening stone’s own instructions. Some water stones are intended for use with water only and should not be used with honing oil or other maintenance fluids unless specified. Keep the bottle closed and out of reach of children. A clean sharpening stone ensures more consistent results Smith’s Premium Honing Solution helps keep the sharpening surface of Arkansas and diamond stones in working condition by reducing the accumulation of metal particles and improving lubrication. The 118 ml bottle is a practical addition to any hand sharpening kit.
