Made from white corundum, the stones are hard and wear-resistant, which translates into speed and quality of grinding. Their use is very simple and safe, and there is no need for additional, expensive grinding oils. For effective work, just soak the stones in water before sharpening.

The set of knife sharpening stones also contains useful accessories that further improve the grinding process, including: incl. bamboo base with non-slip pad, angle guide for sharpening the knife, smoothing stone, two leather strips for polishing the edges of the blades, a small vice and green wax for smoothing the surface of the stones.

Double-sided water stones with different indicators grit

The set contains stones with 4 different grit levels (two double-sided stones with different values ​​on both sides). Depending on the desired effect, select a stone with the appropriate gradation:

• 400 - the coarsest granulation, for repairing damaged and heavily worn edges and restoring sharpness
• 1000 - for removing small burrs and defects and for pre-sharpening knives and tools that are not heavily worn
• 3000 - for obtaining very sharp blade edges
• 8000 - for polishing and smoothing the edges of the blade and for obtaining maximum sharpness

The grit level of water stones is determined by the number visible on the side of each them. The smaller the value, the smaller the granularity: (400 - the smallest / coarsest, 8000 - the largest).

Description of use

Using the knife sharpening stone set is very simple and safe:

1. Immerse the grinding stone in water for about 10 - 15 minutes.

2. Place the bamboo base on a table or other flat surface with the short edge facing you and place it in selected grinding stone. Always start sharpening with smaller grit stones (400 → 1000; 3000 → 8000) starting from 400 or 1000 (depending on the wear of the blade). Stones with a larger grain are used to polish and smooth the edges, giving the blades shine and maximum sharpness.

3. Place the blade across the sharpener. When sharpening, hold the knife at an angle of 10 - 20°. Make decisive movements of the knife from yourself to the end of the stone, applying gentle pressure (the number of repetitions, not the force of pressing the blade, ensures effectiveness). When sharpening, remember to keep the surface of the stone moist - sprinkle it lightly with water while working , if the sharpener has lost moisture.

The knife should be sharpened in fragments (the tip of the blade, the middle, the blade at the blade), using the entire surface of the stone evenly - this will keep the layer smooth for longer. The knife should be ground on a stone with a smaller grit (400 → 1000) until all burrs are removed.

Then, to obtain a very sharp edge, the blade should be polished on a stone with a larger grit (3000 → 8000).

4. After sharpening, clean the knife with a cloth or water and wipe it dry. Then wash the dirt off the stone and leave it to dry.

During sharpening, a mud-like structure may appear on the stone. Do not remove it until the sharpening process is completed.

Description of accessories

1. bamboo base for stones - thanks to the non-slip lining, it ensures comfort and stability during use (but remember that the base may move on wet or naturally slippery surfaces)
2. leather honing belt - for removing burrs and honing blades (knives or tools)
3. leather belt - for removing burrs and honing razor blades
4. green wax - used to keep the surface of stones smooth (its use speeds up the sharpening process)
5. small vice - allows for easier sharpening of a chisel or planer blade

7. black smoothing stone with grooves - used to remove irregularities and restore the flat surface of grinding stones, thus increasing their durability and usefulness.
