PRODUCT INFO:
To keep your knives sharp, take them to a whetstone. The open pore structure of the Wusthof whetstone means that new particles are constantly exposed during sharpening, creating an even better edge on your knives. With two sides, you can pre-sharpen on the coarse side of the stone, and hone to a fine edge on the fine side.
Feature:Â Grit: J1000/3000 fine grit
Directions to Sharpening:
- Immerse the stone for 5 – 10 minutes in water before each use. Water becomes the lubricant, ensuring particles are carried away from the blade
- Always place the stone on a flat, slip-resistant surface. Use the entire surface of the stone when sharpening. This will ensure even wear of the stone over time
- Pull the edge of the blade in an angle of 15 – 20° across the stone from the heel of the blade to its very tip. Use gentle pressure
- Repeat this same procedure on the other side of the edge. Use this same procedure on both sides of the stone, using the coarse side first
- The coarse grain is suitable for removing small flaws and dents, and to prepare the edge for honing
- The fine grain is used to hone the edge to the desired sharpness
SPECIFICATIONS:
- Dimensions: L 20cm x W 6cm x H 3cm
- Grit on whetstones is measured by two systems, the German and the Japanese. F400/1000 means the same thing as J1000/3000 (both use the lower number to signify the coarser grit)
