One Stone.\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eExperience the most versatile stone in the Kai Seki Magoroku range. The 1000\/4000 Grit Combination Whetstone covers the two most-used stages of sharpening in a single stone - the 1000 grit side restores a dull edge quickly, while the 4000 grit side refines and begins polishing it toward a razor finish. The ideal all-in-one stone for cooks who want a complete sharpening result without managing multiple stones. Includes the multifunctional base and storage case.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Specs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrit: 1000 (medium sharpening) \/ 4000 (medium-fine refining and polishing)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1000 grit: Restores a dull edge efficiently\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4000 grit: Refines and begins polishing the edge toward a razor finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes: Multifunctional base and storage case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBase: Ribbed non-slip surface, water reservoir keeps stone wet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase: Top doubles as a soaking tray with fill line guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with: All double-bevel Japanese and Western knives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere This Stone Fits in Your Sharpening System\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 1000\/4000 combination is the most practical single stone for regular home sharpening. The 1000 grit side handles the majority of sharpening work - removing enough metal to restore a dull edge without being so coarse it requires extensive follow-up. The 4000 grit side then refines the scratch pattern left by the 1000 grit, producing a noticeably sharper and smoother edge. For most cooks, this stone alone covers 90% of their sharpening needs. For a full mirror polish, follow with the 8000 grit finishing stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFill the case top with water to the fill line and soak the stone for 5-10 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlace the stone in the ribbed base - fill the base reservoir with water to keep the stone wet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStart with the 1000 grit side to restore the edge - sharpen at 16° for Japanese knives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMove to the 4000 grit side to refine and begin polishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep the stone wet throughout - add water as needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRinse and dry after use, store in the case flat to prevent warping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlatten periodically with a leveling stone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Hale Imports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40020425670734,"sku":"AP0334","price":116.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/products\/image_6073aee9-6a59-4a53-97fa-d7b0c32b383d.jpg?v=1663591033","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/kai-seki-magoroku-1000-4000-grit-whetstone","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
