• Whetstone Cutlery™ two-sided whetstone come has two different sides of grain for sharpening and polishing knife edges.
• The stone is suitable for use with either water or oil.
• These softer Japanese stones have several advantages over harder stones.
• Because they are softer, they do not become glazed or loaded with detritus.
• Plus, they are lubricated effectively with water rather than oil, but can be used with either.

• Features Include:

• 2 sided rectangle stone block
• Side A (darker green): 400grit for rough grinding, to return edges to their original shape.
• Side B (lighter green): 1000grit is for fine finishing, smoothing and polishing cutting edges.
• In addition, with these stones the worn material and the water form a slurry, which in conjunction with the stone, sharpens and polishes the blade.
• Overall dimensions: 7 x 2.25 x 1.125 inches

• Instructions:
  • Submerge the stone in water for about 5 – 10 minutes.
  • Continue to apply water while sharpening.
  • The stone releases small particles during the sharpening process; this powder in combination with water allows the sharpening.
  • Place the stone on a slip-resistant base like a towel.
  • Start by using the coarser grit of the stone.
  • Move the blade back and forth at an angle of 10° – 15° using gentle pressure.
  • Start at the tip of the blade, continue with the middle section, and finish at the end of the blade.
  • After a while you will notice a small burr at the edge.
  • Now repeat the same process on the other side of the blade.
  • Finally, turn the stone over and repeat the procedure, this time using the finer grit of the stone.
  • In order to remove the remaining burr, pull the blade at an angle over the stone.
  • Now you will have achieved the best sharpness.
  • Rinse the stone and clean off the grinding residue.
  • Clean your knife with hot water.
  • Polish blade and coat with oil or metal protector to prevent rust.
