Whetstone Sharpening Stone J2000 / J400 Grit 4450

Tired of sending your valuable knives out for service? Try the WÜSTHOF Ceramic whet stone. With two sides, one can recondition a well used edge with the 400 grit side then fine tune with the 2000 grit side.   At 6 inches long by 2 inches wide, this whetstone can accommodate sharpening longer blades.

Before each use, soak in water for 10 minutes to remove any metal dust. Position the stone on a flat surface and keep it stable. For very dull or damaged blades, start with the coarse side first. Using gentle pressure, draw the edge of the blade over the stone at a 15 – 20 angle from the blade base to tip, and repeat this motion for the other side of the blade. Repeat using the other side of the whetstone to hone the edge as desired. Knives that are well maintained may only require fine honing. Utilizing the stone s entire surface while sharpening will make sure the stone wears evenly over time.

The Wüsthof Ceramic Whetstone is suitable for use with oil or water, but please note that once oil has been used, the whetstone can no longer be used with water.
