The Shun Leveling Whetstone fixes this quickly - soak both stones in water, then work the ridged leveling stone across the whetstone surface in circular or figure-eight motions until the flat surface is restored. The grooves collect the slurry as you work, making the process faster and cleaner. Flatten your whetstones regularly and they'll last significantly longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoak both the leveling stone and whetstone in water before use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlace the whetstone on a stable surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWork the ridged side of the leveling stone across the whetstone in circular or figure-eight motions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContinue until the whetstone surface is flat - check by looking across the surface in raking light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRinse both stones and dry after use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Hale Imports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52344550654243,"sku":"SLM0500","price":103.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/files\/F9C3E981-A14D-4CF2-8077-999462224C58.jpg?v=1737874472"},{"product_id":"shun-400-1000-grit-combination-whetstone","title":"Shun 400\/1000 Grit Combination Whetstone","description":"\u003ch2\u003eRestore.

Use the 400 grit side when a knife is noticeably dull but undamaged, then refine with the 1000 grit side. For a polished razor finish, follow up with a 6000 grit stone such as the Shun 1000\/6000 Combination Whetstone.
