Kai Shun Combination Whetstone / 300 / 1000

A combination whetstone ideal for sharpening very dull and chipped knives.

—DETAILS—

A whetstone is considered by many chefs (and us!) to be the best way to sharpen a knife, as it sheds the least amount of metal from a knife while respecting the shape of the blade. Made of hard ceramics, this Japanese-made stone ensures speedy results and does not wear out easily. This is especially important for Japanese knives, which have tapered V-shaped edges. This low-grit combination whetstone is intended for sharpening very dull or chipped knives on the 300 side, and honing that edge on the finer 1000 edge. It’s best suited for those who don’t sharpen knives very often.This whetstone comes with a rubber tray for stability when sharpening and is presented in an attractive gift box. It measures18.4 x 6.2 x 2.8 cm.
