Norton Multistones

Norton multistones are available in a large and a small size and with a myriad of different stone combinations to satisfy any possible sharpening needs. Norton multistones are self-contained sharpening centers that combine 3 stones in a single holder that mounts into an oil bath. The most popular model is the Norton IM313 series of multistones. The Norton IM313 multistone is available in combinations that range from 3 synthetic stones to the top of the line Norton multistone model that uses three different natural Arkansas stones. The smaller Norton multi-stone, the Norton IM200, is a newer model that was introduced to meet the needs of users who don't have enough room for the full sized IM313. The white version of the Norton IM200 is especially popular in home kitchens.

We consider the Norton Multi-Oilstone to be the foundation of any shop's sharpening capability. The Norton IM313 Multi-Oilstone provides three separate stones, each 11 ½" by 2 ½", cradled in a non-toxic oil bath.

The Norton IM313 Multistone is normally sold with Coarse Crystolon, Medium Crystolon, and Fine India stones and is very popular with woodworkers and chefs alike. We sell the Norton IM313 Multi-Oilstone in this configuration, but we also offer other configurations of the Norton IM313 Multistone that include various Norton hard Arkansas stones. The first version is Norton's standard IM313 Multistone Arkansas version, and complements the Arkansas stone with a medium India stone and a coarse Crystolon stone. This is the version of the Norton IM313 favored by chefs demanding the best. We also offer two special versions of the Norton IM313 Multistone sold only by us. The first complements the Arkansas stone with a medium India stone and a fine India stone and the second complements the Arkansas stone with a medium Crystolon stone and a fine India stone. We feel that the coarse Crystolon stone is superflous in a wood shop because fine tools will never be so dull as to require coarse stone. Hard Arkansas is a natural stone that is becoming very hard to find, and commensurately expensive, however; we don't think that any other oil stone does as good a job of putting the final edge on a blade. All of the versions of the Norton IM313 also includes 1 pt. of Norton sharpening oil.

The Norton Multi-Oilstone IM200

Click on Image to Expand

The Norton IM200 Multi-Stone is the little brother to the famous Norton IM313 Multi-Stone. The smaller size of the IM200 makes it well suited to kitchens and workshops where counter space is at a premium. The stones on the Norton IM200 are 8" by 2" instead of the larger 11 1/2" by 2 1/2" stones used on the IM313. The IM200 comes in two versions, the standard version with a coarse Crystolon, a medium Crystolon, and a fine India. The IM200AK comes with a hard Arkansas, a soft Arkansas, and a medium India. Both versions of the IM200 come with a 4.5 oz. container of Norton sharpening oil. The Norton IM200 is our first choice for home kitchens. It must be noted that while most Norton products are Made in the USA, the plastic case on this unit is marked Made in China, but it still looks to be made OK.
