Japanese whetstone King Home Stone 4000 grit with holder

The Japanese 4000-grit finishing whetstone

The King Home Stone 4000 grit sharpening stone is ideal for maintaining domestic kitchen knives. Its small size (17.6 x 5.2 x 1.5 cm) means it doesn't take up much space, but guarantees effective sharpening of your blades.

The 4000 grit of the stone is considered a fine grain, enabling it to work effectively on the edge of blades. This high grit size is particularly suitable for knives with a high degree of hardness, as they will be able to retain the polished finish obtained with this stone for a long time. On the other hand, "softer" steels will not hold this high polish as well.

This King Home Stone is made from composite material, making it easy to handle and perfect for sharpening novices.

How do I use my water whetstone?

The King Home Stone is a traditional water whetstone. This means that before using it, it's important to soak it in water for 15 minutes or so, so that it soaks thoroughly. When sharpening, continue to moisten it regularly to facilitate sharpening while avoiding damaging your blades.

The synthetic stand supplied with the whetstone features non-slip feet for optimum stability. Thanks to this support, the stone is elevated, facilitating movement during sharpening.

This whetstone represents a good compromise between quality and price, making it the ideal choice for an easy purchase of sharpening equipment.
