Maxi Prosharp double-sided Whetstone 1000/6000 + 5 accessories

The Prosharp 1000/6000 maxi Sharpening stone will quickly become indispensable for knife maintenance! Its double-sided design is ideal for blades with varying degrees of wear.

First of all, its large dimensions (20x8x3cm) enable you to use it on a wide range of knives, even the largest ones such as chef's knives, carving knives... That's a plus over standard-sized stones.

The various faces of the Prosharp maxi stone:

- 1000 grit yellow face: recommended for regular use. This is the medium grit most commonly used for knife maintenance, as it is not too abrasive, and keeps the blade clean and straight. A little practical advice: if you had to use only one type of grit on your knives, this would be it! Thanks to it, your blade will never be dull, and you'll maintain the knife's performance without removing too much material.

- 6000 grit beige face: recommended for finishing the cutting edge. The extreme fineness of the grit reveals the cutting potential of your kitchen knives, as it refines the edge and marks it so that your blade glides through the food. It is effective on both European and Japanese steels (medium to high HRC, as the others cannot withstand such sharpening).

The stone comes with several practical accessories! You have a complete sharpening set, detailed below:

- 1 large base with integrated hook to secure the stone's base when in use, and prevent it from moving. Its large surface also collects the water and filings that will result from sharpening.

- 1 stone base. This is placed on the wide base as previously mentioned. The whole thing is stable, for ease of use. What's more, the inside of the base is lined with silicone to reduce the risk of breakage during handling.

- 1 levelling stone to maintain the surface of your main stone, which can become hollow with use. The small stone is passed over the surface of the stone to level out the grit and restore a straight surface.

- 1 sharpening guide. It slides over the back of the blade (you can put a paper towel between it and the blade if you're afraid of scratching it) and enables you to maintain the right angle for sharpening the edge of your knife.

- 1 water bulb to keep your stone moist, even after soaking it before use. If you see the surface starting to dry out, use the bulb to moisten it again.

The Prosharp maxi Sharpening stone is used with water, so you need to immerse it for about 15 minutes before use. Once you've finished using it, you can let it air-dry (direct sunlight is not permitted) and then wipe it dry with a soft brush.
