Its high-quality composition guarantees long-lasting performance and consistent results for various types of kitchen cutlery.

Suitable for

• Sharpening standard steel kitchen knives

• Aligning cutting edge angles
• Removing minor chips and imperfections from blades
• Polishing blades for a refined finish

When it may not be suitable

This sharpening stone may not be the ideal choice for individuals who are entirely new to manual knife sharpening, as it requires a steady hand and consistent angle maintenance to achieve optimal results. It is also not intended for use on serrated blades or specialized tools with non-standard edge geometries.

Key specifications

• Type: Double-sided diamond sharpening stone
• Grit sizes: 1000 and 3000
• Dimensions: 24 cm x 8 cm x 4 cm
• Base: Non-slip support included
• Compatibility: Suitable for steel, ceramic, and titanium blades

How to use

Before beginning, place the sharpening stone on a flat, stable surface using the provided non-slip base. Ensure the stone is properly prepared according to the specific requirements of diamond abrasives. Hold the knife at a consistent angle, typically between 15 and 20 degrees, and draw the blade across the surface of the 1000-grit side using light, even pressure. Repeat this motion on both sides of the blade until a burr is formed. Once the edge is established, flip the stone to the 3000-grit side to polish the edge and remove any remaining burrs, maintaining the same angle throughout the process.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure you are comfortable with manual sharpening techniques
• Verify the compatibility of the stone with your specific knife collection
• Consider the space available for storage and use
• Check if your knives require a specific sharpening angle

Usage recommendations: Always maintain a consistent angle throughout the entire sharpening process to ensure an even edge. Clean the stone surface after each use to remove metal particles and maintain its abrasive efficiency. Store the stone in a dry, safe place to prevent damage.
