Sharpening-guides Whetstones

It’s no secret your knives begin to dull after repeat usage. Even the highest quality cooking knives start to lose their sharpness overtime. Especially knives forged from Japanese steel, which is notorious for requiring more sharpening sessions than your average German blade. In order to keep your knives in tip-top shape, regularly sharpening may be required.

What is a Japanese Whetstone?

Japanese whetstones are known for their superior sharpening performance for all types of kitchen tools. Equipped with a coarse grit, whetstone helps you polish knives all the way back to their correct shape. The main goals of a Japanese whetstone are to rough grind, sharpen and hone dull knife blades. Certain whetstones may perform one function better than another, and this is dependent on the grit level of the whetstone.

The grit level is what makes each whetstone unique. This loosely bonded abrasive grit washes out quickly as it blunts during the sharpening processes, which then exposes new particles that can continue to sharpen the blade. For rough sharpening, use a stone ranging from 120-400 grit. This level of sharpening can remove chips along the edge or restore a dull blade. Stones from 700-2000 grit can be used for normal sharpening. To remove scratches and to polish your knife, 2000 grit stones are your best option.
