Product Details
Made in Japan, the Naniwa Advance 400 Grit Sharpening Whetstone is ideal for restoring dull or damaged edges on knives. Designed to repair micro-chips, reset bevel angles, and restore severely dull edges with minimal preparation, this is an ideal whetstone for cooks who don't sharpen their knives often, as the coarser grit is best suited for very dull blades. Engineered as a convenient splash-and-go whetstone, thanks to a unique resin construction, it doesn't require soaking before use and can simply be splashed on the surface with water before grinding. The abrasive stone cuts rapidly, making quick work of removing small nicks and sharpening blunt or neglected knives.
How to Use: Place whetstone on a stable surface. Splash the surface with water, find the angle on your knife blade, and stroke the blade from base to edge along the surface of the stone. Keep track of the exact amount of strokes you make. Repeat for the other side. Follow up with a higher-grit whetstone, like the Naniwa Advance 1000/3000 Grit Combination Whetstone, for honing and polishing.
How to Clean: Rinse the stone with water and let it air-dry completely before storing. Do not place in the dishwasher.
