Review on πŸ”ͺ The Ultimate Sharpening Solution: Bora 501098 Combination Sharpening Silicon Unleashed! by Andrew Dickens

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Standard sanding block.

Does what it should. Judging by the description, the grit (240/320) is correct. The block arrived intact with just a few nicks and chips along the corners and edges, and the work surfaces are flat and regular. However, the label on the packaging describes the material as silicon oxide, which is ordinary glass. This material is gray in color instead of the traditional green silicon carbide (part of the product description) used to hand dress tungsten carbide cutting tools such as lathe tools. If it can withstand the hand dressing of carbide lathes, then it's worth it.

Pros
  • Perfect size for workbench
Cons
  • Long delivery time
