The Canoe Stone Silicar is a high-quality intermediate grit canoe whetstone, ideal for sharpening curved billhooks, scythes, grass hooks, and slashers.
Crafted from synthetic silicon carbide with an approximate 220 grit, this stone effectively removes metal to restore a dulled edge quickly. It leaves a visibly serrated edge, so we recommend finishing with a finer stone like the Canoe Stone Rozutec for a polished result.
Key Features:
- Intermediate grit (220) for efficient metal removal
- Dimensions: 260mm (10") x 15mm (5/8") x 35mm (1 3/8") x 10mm (3/8")
- Suitable for curved billhooks, scythes, grass hooks, and slashers
- Quick metal removal to restore a dulled edge
- Recommended to immerse in water for a few minutes prior to use
If the stone accidentally snaps, it can be glued back together with epoxy resin after thorough drying.
Keeping your edge tools sharp is crucial for both performance and safety, and billhooks are no exception. While there's no need to be as meticulous as with carving axes or knives, maintaining a sharp edge is essential. For convenience, pair this stone with one of our leather belt sheaths designed for single canoe stones.
For those who prefer using just one canoe whetstone, the Canoe Stone Silicar is an excellent choice.
