King KDS Combination Whetstone 1000/6000

The 1000 grit is a medium cutting stone, great for re-setting a bevel and light shaping. The 6000 side will polish and remove the burr, leaving a sharp edge.

King stones are one of the oldest and best known Japanese whetstone brands. These combination stones are on the softer side, which makes for good feedback and ease of use, although they wear down quickly, so frequent flattening is recommended. This stone would be great for use with standard quality Japanese and Western kitchen knives and tools. Soak in water before use for 10-20 minutes. Keep wet during use for best results.
