This combination whetstone is used for coarse sharpening of damaged or totally blunt blades (grit #240 - red) and for general sharpening (grit #800 - blue). To put a fine, finishing edge on a knife, a finer grit whetstone is needed (#2000 or higher grit).
Due to years of experience with sharpening knives, we decided to introduce our own line of sharpening stones under our brand SharpEdge. These stones are suitable for beginners and intermediate sharpeners who need a reliable and affordable sharpening stone. There are better performing stones (less wear over time) in the market, but we find that these stones offer a great price/performance ratio for those who are relatively new to knife sharpening. More experienced sharpeners will appreciate our collection of whetstones from Japanese manufacturer Naniwa.
The advantage of sharpening with a whetstone is that by using correct techniques we can achieve a remarkable sharpness of the blade, but it is necessary to learn the correct technique.
Our whetstones include a non-slip base stand for safer sharpening, preventing the stone from moving around.
