Product Details

This Donxote knife sharpening stone features both coarse and fine grit sides designed for effective sharpening and polishing. The 400 grit side is well-suited for removing dull edges, while the 1000 grit side is ideal for honing slightly dull knives. The finer grits, 3000 and 8000, are used to achieve an extremely sharp edge and polish it to a smooth finish.

Product Details

The sharpening stone measures 7.08 x 2.36 x 1.18 inches and weighs 1.22 pounds. The included bamboo base measures 8.46 x 3.74 x 0.9 inches and weighs 0.47 pounds, providing stability during use. The sharpening process involves soaking the stone in water for 5 minutes before securing it in the bamboo base, followed by grinding and honing using each grit side in sequence.

Each set includes two sharpening stones, rubber holders for stability, the bamboo base, and a knife angle guide to ensure consistent sharpening. This product is made from prime white corundum and is designed for a variety of cutting tools, though it is not suitable for serrated blades or ceramic knives.

To use, follow these steps:
1. Soak in water for 5 minutes and place in the bamboo base.
2. Use the 400 grit side at a 10-30 degree angle for rough grinding (15 minutes).

4. Use the 3000 grit side for further refinement (15 minutes).
5. Finally, polish with the 8000 grit side for a smooth edge (10 minutes).
6. Keep the stone wet throughout the process and clean the knife and stone afterward.
