FAQ: Your Stone Rocker Questions, Answered
Everything You Need to Know to Rock Your Edge
Q: What makes The Stone Rocker different from other sharpening systems?
The Stone Rocker moves the stone for you, and unlike systems with a grinder wheel, we fit standard 6x1" or 6x½" stones—choose from natural, synthetic, CBN, diamond, or stropping options. Focus on your knife angle with our Guided Angle system and adjustable stroke speed!
Q: Can I use my own sharpening stones with The Stone Rocker?
Absolutely! The Stone Rocker fits any standard 6x1" (152x25 mm) or 6x½" (152x13 mm) stone, 5mm-10mm thick, including natural, synthetic, CBN, diamond, and stropping options. No stones? Get our Core Cut or Elite Edge kits now!
Q: What safety gear should I use?
A: Wear safety glasses and cut-resistant gloves (recommended) to protect against debris and cuts—sharpen smart, stay safe.
Q: When will my pre-order ship?
A: Pre-orders hit the road in April 2025. First come, first served—once it’s shipped, you’ll get a tracking number to stalk your package.
Q: How does The Stone Rocker actually work?
A: The system’s a beast—the Sharpening Stone Plate glides back and forth while you glide your blade on the Angle Guide Pro. It’s all about control, consistency, and edges that cut like a dream.
Q: Can I tweak the sharpening angle?
A: Hell yeah! The Angle Guide System adjusts from 9° to 35°. Twist the Angle Knob, perfect for anything from kitchen slicers to bushcraft bruisers.
Q: What’s the upkeep like?
A: Barely any sweat. Wipe down the rails, peek at the bearings, and check the belt tension. Keep it clean and tight, and it’ll rock for years.
Q: Do I need to turn it off to swap stones?
A: Yes—power it down every time. If the limit switch gets clicked while the controller’s live, it’ll kick off a cycle and could mess up the machine or your day. Safety first, edge second.
Q: What grit should I start with?
A: Depends on your blade. Dull or damaged? Go coarse (200-400 grit) to grind out nicks and reshape. Just maintaining? Jump to medium (800-1000 grit). Our Core Cut set’s got your coarse fix; Elite Edge takes it fine.
Q: How do I know when it’s sharp enough?
A: Feel for the burr—that thin, curled edge along the blade. Once it’s there on both sides, you’ve hit the apex. Refine with finer grits and strop ‘til it’s screaming sharp—test it on paper or your arm hair if you’re brave.
Q: Can I use it for all my knives?
A: Pretty much! Kitchen cutlery, pocket knives, hunting blades—adjust the angle and pick your stone. Tiny or weirdly shaped blades might need extra finesse, but it’s built to handle most.
Q: What’s stropping, and do I need it?
A: Stropping’s the final polish—use the stropping plate to smooth out the burr and get a razor finish. Not mandatory, but if you want edges that shave, it’s the move. Pull with the edge, or you’ll cut the leather—or yourself.
Q: Where do I get replacement parts?
A: All parts are standard—hit up hardware stores or snag them straight from our site. We keep it simple and accessible.
Q: Is it hard to set up?
A: Nah—plug in the 12V adapter, snap on your stone plate, set your angle, and you’re rolling. The Quick Start Guide and online tutorials have your back if you’re new to the game.
Q: What if I’ve never sharpened before?
A: You’re golden. The Stone Rocker’s guided system takes the guesswork out—steady pressure, heel-to-tip slides, and you’ll be cutting like a pro. Start coarse, work up, and watch the burr. Check our tutorials for the full rundown.
