Edge Master Professional Corundum Whetstone Sharpening Combo Kit 240/1000 Grit

This Edge Master sharpening system features a combination Whetstone, non slip silicon base, flattening stone to level the stone before use to ensure the whetstone is completely flat and two guide rails for maintaing the sharpening angle. The plastic base conveniently stores the flatteing stone and guide rails.

Japanese Whetstones are known for their superior sharpening performance, not only for Japanese tools, but also on their Western equivalents. The loosely bonded abrasive grit is washed out very quickly, as it blunts during the sharpening process; this exposes new, sharp, particles that can get to work on the blade. Water stones are lubricated only with water! Soak the stone for five minutes in water and then you are set to go.

• Medium Coarse 240 Grit: Fast metal removal rate, scratches not as visible. Finest recommended grit for dull tools and knives.
• Extra Fine 1000 Grit: Slow sharpening rate. Edge is showing a polished looking edge. Very sharp edge better than most factory edges on good knives.
