Norton Pike Multi Oil stone

[=MAX=]

Last weekend I got a change to sharpen my CGFBM on my friends Norton Pike oil stone. I usually use a 7" stone but this stone set is the only way to go for larger blades, the stones are 12" long. Sadly I dont think they are made anymore, it comes with three grades of stones. You fill the bottom with oil and your good to go.
It put an awesome edge on the CGFBM. Pardon the CGFBM's appearance, she was out late the night before chopping and battoning logs around the firepit.
Here are some pics of the stone set.

Very Cool setup! I have a large Norton diamond plate for sharpening large blades. BTW, that's a beautiful Mistress. Who needs a SLUT when you have a willing and able Mistress.

Norton still has a similar product listed in their catalog, the IM313.

Here's what the catalog says...

IM313 Multi-Oilstone Sharpening Systems - Large straight-edged tool sharpening

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Considered by many to be the ultimate sharpening systems, IM313 Multi-Oilstone systems contain three oil stones. The 11-1/2" stone length permits long, sweeping strokes for faster and more precise sharpening and honing of all large, wider straight-edged tools. The heavy base has a non-skid bottom.

A pint of Norton oil, plastic angle guide, and reservoir unit are included with each IM313 system.

IM313 – For general sharpening – coarse Crystolon quickly restores worn edges; medium Crystolon produces the average edge needed for most tools; and fine India stone hones for a sharper edge.

IM313-CIH – For sharpening and finishing – coarse Crystolon for heavy stock removal; medium India for initial sharpening or resharpening and ultra fine Hard Translucent Arkansas for honing and final finishing.

IM313-CSH – For sharpest edges – medium Crystolon produces the average edge needed for most tools; extra fine Soft Arkansas for honing and ultra fine Hard Translucent Arkansas for final finishing.

Thats a really nice stone. I like how things were made really heavy duty back in the day.

Nice! Now Max has me on a search, through the various estate sales and junk shops all over the Hill Country! I am on the prowl!

That rig is what I have been looking for, for a very long time.

When you use your Norton triangular prism triple oilstone, spin the prism in the oil bath to coat the stones. Then lock the stone you want to use in the uppermost (flat position). Now squeegee the stone off with a rubber spatula (the oil will fall back into the bath). This stone washing and wiping technique gets rid of the swarf and reduces the messiness. Wipe your blade with a rag before proceeding to a finer stone to avoid contaminating a finer stone with a coarser grit.

I used those for years in food service, worth the money:thumbup:
You can find them used cheap on Ebay from restaurants that went under...
