Product Description
Norton 4-1/2-ounce sharpening stone oil is formulated for oilstone lubrication, with the correct viscosity for smooth sharpening without loading or clogging stones; it flushes away dislodged abrasive and metal chips to prevent metal from bonding with the surface of an oilstone, and meets U.S. Pharmacopeia standards for mineral oil purity and FDA requirements for use near food preparation. Norton sharpening stone oil is a highly refined lubricant that is effective for many other lubricating uses.
This 4-1/2-oz. can of sharpening stone oil, measuring 5 x 2 x 1 inch (H x W x D), has a snug-fitting lid, stores compactly, and fits into Norton portable sharpening systems for mobile use. (H is height, the vertical distance from lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.) This oil meets U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) standards for mineral oil purity and U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations for use near food (FDA 21 CFR 178.3620).
Sharpening stones, or whetstones, are abrasive surfaces used to sharpen and hone the edges of steel cutting implements, such as chisels, knives, scissors, hand scrapers, and plane blades. Sharpening is the process of creating or re-establishing a cutting edge by grinding away portions of the metal to adjust the angle of the edge and reform the shape. Honing removes small imperfections. Stones can be flat, for working flat edges, or shaped, for edges that are more complex. When used with lubricating liquid, a sharpening stone can be called a waterstone or an oilstone, based on the lubricant required. Oilstones use sharpening stone oil for lubrication when sharpening, to prevent metal from bonding with the abrasive surface by flushing away dislodged abrasive and metal chips.
Norton Abrasives manufactures sanding, grinding, and polishing abrasives, and has been located in the United States since 1885. Norton, now a brand of Saint-Gobain, meets ISO 9000 and 14001 certification for quality and environmental management standards.

Editorial Reviews
From the Manufacturer
To make your sharpening job easier, try Norton Sharpening Stone Oil. Specially formulated for all types of metal. Norton sharpening stone oil is a natural, highly refined light mineral oil. It is a pharmacopia grade oil so it is safe for use on kitchen tools. Mineral oil lubrication is recommended for all Norton oil stones. Oil acts as an effective lubricant during the sharpening process to float away metal and abrasive dust that would otherwise clog up the stone and ultimately render it useless.

Oil for sharpening stone & other
By Russell
This oil is great lubrication for your sharpining stones, works great on knives and any other cutlery. Safe for kitchen ware ,pocket knives,etc. This I used on the threads of my flashlights to stop friction and rubbed a litte on the rubber o-ring so it doesn't dry out. Almost anything you can use this to lubricate.

Great oil for lubrication.
By B. Eaton
I originally bought this to get the price up to $25 for free shipping, knowing I might see a use for it someday. Upon receiving the oil and reading the back I saw it could be used as a lubricant for fans. So I thought I would give it a go. It turned a fan that has been running nonstop for two years from a loud rattling noise machine into an exceptionally quiet one. I then used it on an old Dremel and numerous hand tools, it has made them function better than the day I bought them. I have nothing but good things to say about this product.

Great product, great price
By Xiao Geng
For the price, and the amount, it is a very good deal. There are specialty lubricating oils that cost a lot more, but does exactly what this thing is doing. You do not have to use it only for sharpening, you can use it for a variety of things. Recommended buy.
