Kai sharpening guide for whetstone

The essential sharpening guide for maintaining your Japanese knives

A sharpening guide is a very practical accessory when sharpening your kitchen knife. It allows you to maintain the right angle on a whetstone, ideal for beginners!

The guide is placed on the top of the blade, generally towards the middle of the blade in terms of length. It's a good idea to slip a thin sheet of paper towel between the blade and the guide to avoid any scratches.

Once the guide is in place, you can start using your whetstone. Use the usual back-and-forth movements to slide the blade over the surface of the stone, allowing it to work. The guide raises the blade and holds it in the same position throughout the operation. This makes sharpening more precise and less tedious.

A practical knife sharpening guide

This sharpening guide is made of nylon, a durable material that withstands the pressure of your fingers and won't warp.

This Kai guide is recommended for blades between 3 and 4 cm wide. Indeed, on a blade that is too narrow, such as a pocket knife or fillet knife, the guide will raise the steel too much and the sharpening angle will not be optimal. The wider the blade, the smaller the sharpening angle.
