<div id="desc"> <p class="redtext">Our most versatile stone holder.</p> <p>If you are going to buy just one stone holder, this is the one. We have tested it and found it holds stones between 5 1/2" and 8 1/2" long. Although intended primarily for water stones, it works equally well on diamond and oil stones; the stones do not know the difference. The rubber feet keep the stone from sliding around and have the added benefit of raising the stone 7/8" above the work surface, just enough to easily make room for your hands while sharpening. The sturdy chrome plated steel rails are corrosion resistant.</p> <em>If this holder looks familiar, you've probably seen us using this holder in photos and in videos. This is a very versatile holder so we use it with almost all of our stones in the shop.</em> <!--8252475--> </div> <div id="faqs"> <p class="Question">Q.
