Description

Venev Centaur Series Dual Side Diamonds are used for sharpening knives on Hapstone and TSProf guided knife sharpeners, as well as freehand sharpening. Diamond sharpening stones offer excellent performance in sharpening knives of any steel.

Centaur Series is dual side diamond with two 1mm-thick diamond-bearing layers on the aluminum plate. The diamond-bearing plate contains evenly distributed diamond grains with resin bonding. The manufacture of bonded diamonds is more complex than for coated diamonds. Bonded diamonds provide better feedback and give the sharpening stone a much longer lifespan.

The OCB version of Venev Diamonds utilizes a brand-new yellow binder with no abrasive particles in the composition. OCB is available in fine grits only and offers better scratch-free sharpening results.

All Venev diamonds use FEPA-F grit classification. Centaur Series is available in six grit combinations.

  • F80 + F150
  • F100 + F240
  • F240 + F400 OCB
  • F400 OCB + F800 OCB
  • F800 OCB + F1200 OCB
  • F1200 OCB + F1500 OCB

F80 to F240 utilize legacy binder. F400 to F1200 utilize OCB binder. 

Set composition

Stone set Beta Centauri:

  • F80 + F150
  • F240 + F400
  • F800 + F1200

Specification

Each stone:

  • Product size: 150 x 25 x 10mm (6" x 1" x 3/8")
  • Weight: 90 g (3.2 oz)
  • Abrasive: Synthetic Diamonds with phenol-formaldehyde bonding
  • Extra materials: Aluminum
  • Flatness tolerance: up to 0.2mm

How to use

Venev Diamonds are recommended to be used with water as a lubricant for the best feedback. The diamond does not absorb water. Splash water on the stone's surface. Dry usage is an acceptable practice, although it results in faster wearing and speeds up stone loading.

Venev Diamonds may have the flatness tolerance up to 0.2mm. Additional flattening and lapping can be performed by a customer to improve sharpening quality. We recommend using loose silicon carbide powder. Using a diamond lapping plate is not recommended.

Dimensions notation.
Monolayer solid abrasives have 3 numbers: length × width × thickness.
Single-sided abrasives with backing have 4 numbers: length × width × full thickness × thickness of abrasive.
Dual-sided abrasives have 5 numbers: length × width × full thickness × thickness of abrasive #1 × thickness of abrasive #2 (both sides)
If thickness is variable, the minimum thickness is noted.
For curved abrasives, a radius of curvature inmm is added: R40.

Metallic Binders (MMC)
  • M2-01 - Copper-tin bronze alloy.
  • MS-1 - Metal-matrix composite (MMC) - Copper-tin bronze alloy reinforced with silicon carbide.
  • MB-1 - Metal-matrix composite (MMC) - Copper-tin bronze alloy reinforced with boron carbide.
  • MS-1A - Metal-matrix composite (MMC) - Aluminum-copper alloy reinforced with silicon carbide.
Resin Binders
  • B1-10 - Boron-modified phenolic resin (BPF) composite - Made of powdered bakelite, copper additive
  • B2-01 - Boron-modified phenolic resin (BPF) composite - Made of liquid bakelite, iron additive (softer than В1-10)
  • В2-01М - Boron-modified phenolic resin (BPF) composite - Made of liquid bakelite, copper additive (softer than В2-01)
  • OSB (OCB) – A proprietary phenolic resin composite.

(OSB and OCB refer to the same binder; the difference arises from a transliteration quirk of the Cyrillic “ОСБ,” which can be rendered as either “OSB” or “OCB” in Latin script.)
