How do you use a sharpening stone?
To get your knife razor sharp, you go through three steps: pre-sharpening, fine-sharpening and polishing. When pre-sharpening, you use a coarse sharpening stone (up to grit 600) to restore the cutting edge to the correct angle and remove damage. Then, fine-sharpening with a finer sharpening stone (600-3000) ensures that the edge becomes smoother and sharper. Finally, polishing completes the finish; with a very fine sharpening stone (3000+) or a strop you remove the last impurities, giving the knife a mirror-smooth and extremely sharp edge. With this method, your knives remain in top condition for effortless cutting.

If you use your knives regularly, they can lose their sharpness. With sharpening stones, you can ensure that you retain the sharpness of your knives and can enjoy the cutting convenience for longer.

Made of a coarse and small grit, the sharpening stone contains two sides with different grit sizes. This means you don't have to invest in two sharpening stones.
