Venev Orion³ Series Resin CBN Series is the first CBN product developed by Venev Industrial Diamonds. Venev Orion³ ('Orion Cubed') is made in Edge Pro form-factor and is used for sharpening knives on Hapstone, TSProf, and all Edge Pro compatible guided sharpening systems. CBN (Cubic Boron Nitride) is the second-hardest material after diamond.
Venev Orion³ consists of a 3mm-thick CBN-bearing plate mounted on an Edge Pro aluminum base. The CBN-bearing plate contains evenly distributed CBN grains with resin bonding.
All Venev stones use FEPA-F grit classification. Orion³ series is available in 7 grits. F80 to F240 utilize wear-resistant legacy binder, F400 to F2000 utilize OSB binder with no abrasive particles in the composition.
How to use
Venev CBN stones are recommended to be used with water as a lubricant for the best feedback. The stones don't absorb water. Splash water on the stone's surface and keep it wet.
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.)

Understanding Dimensions (GOST notation) Dual-sided stones have 5 numbers: length × width × full thickness × thickness of abrasive layers for both sides If abrasive layer thickness is variable, the minimum thickness is noted.
Single-sided stones with backing have 4 numbers. Monolayer stones have 3 numbers. Curved stones have a radius of curvature inmm: R40
