Ready.\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eExperience the mid-range sharpening stone that bridges the gap between coarse repair and fine finishing. The Shun 400\/1000 Grit Combination Whetstone is the right choice when a knife is noticeably dull but not chipped - the 400 grit side removes material quickly to restore the edge, while the 1000 grit side smooths and refines it to a sharp working finish.

The 400\/1000 stone sits in the middle - coarser than a pure finishing stone, finer than the 300 grit repair stone. 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. The included rubber tray keeps the stone stable on the bench throughout the sharpening process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoak the stone in water for 5-10 minutes before use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlace in the rubber tray for stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStart with the 400 grit side for a dull edge - sharpen at 16° for Shun knives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMove to the 1000 grit side to refine the edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep the stone wet throughout - use water only, no oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRinse and dry the stone after use, store flat to prevent warping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlatten the stone periodically with a leveling stone to maintain a flat surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Hale Imports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54510954250531,"sku":"SSM0708","price":126.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/files\/DC38B3DA-D697-425F-BF83-0276D9F261C6.jpg?v=1763437530","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/shun-400-1000-grit-combination-whetstone","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
