KING HOME Japanese Knife Sharpening Stones for Traditional Use - K-65

Equipped with a robust plastic foundation, the King Deluxe boasts exceptional durability for general household knife maintenance. Designed specifically as a versatile sharpening tool for various blades, its quality is consistently high and ensures long-lasting sharpness.

When faced with nicks, employ a coarse stone (ranging from #80 to #400). For dull edges, a medium-grit stone (#700 to #1200) will restore the edge. To refine and achieve a finishing touch, utilize a fine stone (#3000 to #8000).

Proper usage involves pre-soaking the stone in water for approximately three minutes. Maintain stability during sharpening, angling the knife blade at a 15-20 degree angle against the stone. For single-edged knives, focus 90% of the sharpening on the edge and 10% on the back; double-edged knives should be honed evenly on both sides. After sharpening, lightly touch up the back of the blade to remove any burrs.

Regular maintenance is essential due to potential dents; protect the stone with waterproof or abrasive papers. Post-use, rinse with water and let it dry in a shaded area. King Deluxe stands out due to its engineered design that tackles common sharpening issues, like damage from knife points and inconsistent stone hardness. Benefitting from decades of expertise, artificial stones crafted by King exhibit superior sharpness compared to natural alternatives.

Crafted in Japan, this product adheres to the stringent standards set by expert sushi chefs, where a sharp blade can transform a simple fish into a delightful delicacy. Measuring 185x63x20 mm, it weighs in at 626 grams, featuring a grit of 800 and constructed from a special abrasive material for the stone, with a plastic base for added stability during use. Remember to immerse the stone in water before commencing the sharpening process.
