KING Japanese Whetstone Set for Carbon Steel: PB-04, 800/#6000 Grit Combination Sharpener

Equipped with a durable plastic foundation and a transparent casing, the item boasts a double-sided design, featuring grits of #800 for medium honing and #6000 for exceptional sharpness. Primarily designed for general-purpose knives, selecting the right whetstone depends on the condition:

1. Nicks: Opt for a coarse stone (grit range #80 - #400).
2. Dullness: Employ a medium-grit stone (grit range #700 - #1200).
3. Sharpening enhancement: Use a finishing stone (grit range #3000 - #8000).

To effectively utilize the sharpening stone: 1. Immerse it in water for approximately 3 minutes prior to use. 2. Securely position the stone, angling the knife blade at a 15-20 degree angle against it. 3. For single-edged knives, focus 90% of the sharpening on the edge and 10% on the back. For double-edged knives, ensure equal honing on both sides. 4. After sharpening, lightly touch up the knife's back to remove burrs.

Regular maintenance is crucial; periodically use waterproof paper or abrasive paper to address any indentation. Post-use, rinse the stone with water and let it dry in a shaded area. King Deluxe, engineered as a versatile sharpening wheel for various knives, guarantees long-lasting quality and consistent sharpness due to its specialized abrasive material. It addresses issues like stone damage from knife points and inconsistent hardness. Thanks to its extensive expertise, the synthetic whetstone offers superior sharpness compared to natural alternatives.
