Yaxell Japanese whetstone 600/1000 grit + 3 accessories

This Yaxell sharpening stone will help you keep your kitchen knives sharp!

Its double-sided surface ensures particularly effective care of your blades: the #600 side provides quality sharpening (to remove the small waste accumulated from repeated cutting), while the medium-grain #1000 side allows you to more gently sharpen the edge of the knife, to give it a razor-sharp edge. If used regularly, this stone will help you to avoid dull knives that need further sharpening.

The non-slip base is a plus for comfortable use! Once placed on it, you can move back and forth to sharpen the blade without the rest of the stone moving.

Thanks to the sharpening guide, you can sharpen your kitchen knives effortlessly: place it on the cutting surface and then sharpen the blade directly at the right angle. The knife's edge will be respected.

Finally, a small nagura stone is supplied: this small model enables you to create a slurry beforehand, which facilitates sharpening. In fact, after a few moments of sharpening your knife, you'll notice a small colored sludge forming on the surface of the stone, and this is perfectly normal. This "sludge" is even essential, as it helps to sharpen the knife, so don't clean it off during the process.

Here are some more tips on how to use your Yaxell double-sided stone:

- wet it about ten minutes in advance

- place the guide on your blade

- move back and forth over the stone

- during this operation, a black filing will appear: this is what sharpens knives. Once the filings have solidified, add more water and sharpen the rest of your knife.

This Japanese stone and its accessories are the perfect tools for caring for and maintaining your Japanese knives.
