Ice King IK900 Honing Stone — Curling Ice Scraper Blade Maintenance
The Ice King IK900 Honing Stone helps curling clubs and ice technicians maintain a sharp scraper blade cutting edge between professional sharpenings. Routine honing can remove burrs caused by normal use and restore sharpness when needed.
Use the stone with diluted Ice King Honing Solution, which contains cleaning agents and rust inhibitors to help remove metal and abrasive dust and prevent oxidation of steel particles left on the stone.
Use Only as Needed
Before honing, confirm that scraping problems are caused by the blade rather than uneven ice. Hone only as much as necessary to restore the cutting edge. Honing does not replace professional sharpening; blades eventually require precision reconditioning by Ice King.
Always wear protective gloves, secure the blade before honing, and follow the complete Ice King Blade Care and Maintenance instructions.

ICE KING HONES FAQs
Should the Ice King honing stone be used dry or with a solution?
Prepare the stone with diluted Ice King Honing Solution. Mix 50 ml of solution with 250 ml of water in the storage box, then soak the stone for at least 10 minutes before its first use of the season. Keep the stone soaking in the mixture between uses during the season.
How do I clean the honing stone after use?
Run tap water over the stone’s working surface and use the supplied scrub brush to remove metal and abrasive dust. Return the stone to its storage box and keep it soaking in the diluted honing solution between uses.
When should I replace the honing stone?
Replace the stone when grooves begin to form on its working surface, as directed in the Ice King honing kit instructions.
How often should I hone my curling ice scraper blade?
Hone only when needed to restore the cutting edge or address burrs and blade-related cutting problems. The manual does not specify a fixed daily or weekly schedule. Rule out ice-surface issues first, and hone only as much as necessary.
How should I store the honing kit at the end of the season?
Empty the honing solution, clean the storage box, and wash or replace the cloth as needed. Allow all items to dry before storing the stone and supplies in the honing box until the next season.
What precautions should I take when honing a scraper blade?
Always wear protective gloves and secure the blade in a suitable position before honing. A scraper blade remains very sharp even when it appears dull. Follow the complete Ice King Blade Care and Maintenance instructions for the honing procedure.
