Description

Venev Greater Dog Series Dual Side Diamonds are used as a pocket sharpening stone.

Greater Dog 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. Greater Dog Series is available in 7 grit combinations.

  • F80 + F150
  • F100 + F240
  • Greater Dog only! F150 + F400 OCB
  • F240 + F400 OCB
  • Greater Dog only! F240 + F800 OCB
  • F400 OCB + F800 OCB
  • F800 OCB + F1200 OCB

All Greater Dog diamonds have 100% diamond concentration. (25% - while stock lasts.)

Specification

  • Product size: 98 x 40 x 10mm (twice wider than Dog Seres)
  • 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.

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.)

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.
