Japanese Whetstone #1000/#6000 with Holder

Dull knives make cutting difficult and kitchen work unnecessarily complicated.

With the Toishi sharpening stone, kitchen knives can be regularly resharpened and finely polished. The double-sided grit combines a #1000 sharpening stone for resharpening with a #6000 side for fine polishing the blade. Thanks to the included angle guide and the non-slip bamboo holder, the set is suitable for both beginners and experienced users.

Advantages

• Effective resharpening: The #1000 grit is suitable for refreshing dull blades and supports an even sharpness.
• Fine polishing result: The #6000 grit smooths and refines the blade after sharpening to enable more precise cuts.
• Stable and comfortable use: The non-slip bamboo holder ensures a secure stand, while the angle guide helps maintain a consistent sharpening angle.

Usage

1. Preparation: Soak the sharpening stone in water for 5–10 minutes until no more air bubbles rise.
2. Sharpening: Use the #1000 side and move the knife evenly over the stone at a constant angle.
3. Polishing: Then use the #6000 side to gently polish the blade and complete the sharpening process.

Pro tip: Keep the sharpening stone slightly wet throughout the entire process. A wet stone ensures a more even sharpening pattern and supports gentle treatment of the blade.
