Sharpening stone LF L9013305

A coarse sharpening stone renews the cutting edge on professional slicers and mincers. Over time, the blade loses its sharpness through repeated contact with meats, cheeses and vegetables. The stone works by abrasion: as it moves across the blade, its grit removes a thin layer of metal, exposing a fresh, keen edge. This process does not reshape the blade but restores the factory bevel, allowing the machine to slice cleanly again.

To use the stone, the operator first ensures the machine is switched off and unplugged. The blade guard is removed, and the stone is held at the correct angle against the blade. A steady, even stroke is applied along the full length of the cutting edge, maintaining consistent pressure. The stroke is repeated until the edge feels uniformly sharp. After sharpening, the blade is wiped clean to remove any metal particles, and the guard is refitted before the machine is returned to service.

The stone measures 48 mm by 15 mm by 8 mm, a size that matches the blade geometry of the listed models. Its coarse grit is chosen for rapid metal removal, making it suitable for blades that have become noticeably dull. The stone is a solid block, requiring no mounting or additional tools; it is held directly in the hand during use.

This LF sharpening stone fits Berkel, Braher and Sirman slicers and mincers across a wide range of models, including the Berkel CX300, Braher MAT and USA series, and Sirman Galileo, Leonardo, Mantegna, Palladio, Selce, Tiziano and VAS models. It is placed in the catalogue under sharpening accessories for professional slicing equipment.
