Synthetic Water Stone (#1000/3000)

The 1000/3000 double-sided synthetic water stone is designed for sharpening and initial edge refinement. It’s perfect for daily maintenance of kitchen knives and for use with Japanese knives made from carbon and stainless steels.

The 1000 grit side is used to create a sharp, even cutting edge after coarser stones or for regular sharpening of moderately dull knives. The 3000 grit allows for further blade smoothing, scratch reduction, and improved cutting fluidity and control, preparing the edge for use or subsequent polishing stages.

The stone works with water – we recommend soaking it for about a minute before use. Regular wetting of the surface during sharpening improves efficiency and prevents clogging of pores.
