The Water Stone

A water stone is the gold standard for knife sharpening - it removes metal precisely and progressively, giving you full control over the edge angle and finish. The 1000 grit side handles reprofiling a dull or damaged edge, while the 3000 grit side refines and polishes that edge to a sharp, clean finish. A simple, effective sharpening system that will outlast any pull-through sharpener.

Care and Maintenance

• Soak in water for 5-10 minutes before use
• Keep wet during sharpening
• Rinse and dry after use
• Store flat to prevent warping
• Flatten the stone periodically with a lapping plate or flattening stone
