Sound familiar?

When your knives stop cutting

Tomatoes squash instead of slicing

A dull edge crushes soft food instead of cutting through it.

Small chips in the edge

Little nicks make cuts ragged and get worse over time.

Pull-through sharpeners

Quick gadgets cannot give the fine, polished finish of a proper stone.

#3000 side

Sharpen and repair

The 3000 grit side is a medium grit water stone, coarse enough to bring a dull knife back to life.

It is the perfect stone to touch up an edge when a full sharpening session is not needed.

Polishing a knife on the 8000 grit side with water on the stone

#8000 side

Polish to a mirror finish

The 8000 grit side takes your edge to very sharp. With the right hand pressure and a little patience it gives a mirror polish.

It quickly builds a fine slurry, gives good feedback, cuts fast and stays flat for a long time. It works well with any type of steel.

Kit parts: 3000 and 8000 grit sides, non-slip holder, bamboo base and flattening stone

The complete kit

Everything you need to sharpen at home

You get the double-sided stone with a non-slip rubber holder, a hand-made bamboo base, an angle guide and a flattening stone to keep the stone level.

  • Angle guide: clips onto the blade to help you hold a steady angle.
  • Rubber base: keeps the stone from sliding on any surface.
  • Bamboo base: a stable, non-slip stand for the stone.
  • Flattening stone: keeps the sharpening surface flat over time.

How to use it

Sharpening in five steps

1. Soak the stone

Soak the stone in room temperature water for 10–15 minutes, or until it stops bubbling and water pools on top.

2. Set it up

Put the stone in its rubber holder on the bamboo base so it cannot slide.

3. Fit the angle guide

Clip the angle guide onto the spine of the knife. Holding a steady angle is the most important part of sharpening.

4. Sharpen on 3000

Work the edge on the 3000 grit side to sharpen it or repair small chips.

5. Polish on 8000

Turn the stone over and finish on the 8000 grit side for a smooth, polished edge.

Good to know

Water only, and keep it flat

This is a water stone: do not put oil on it, or you will ruin the stone.

Keeping the stone flat matters just as much as holding a steady angle. Use the flattening stone now and then to level the surface.
