Japanese Sharpening Stone #1000/#6000 with Holder

Dull knives make cutting difficult and kitchen work unnecessarily laborious.

The Toishi sharpening stone allows you to regularly sharpen and finely polish kitchen knives. The double-sided grit combines a #1000 sharpening stone for resharpening with a #6000 side for fine polishing the edge. Thanks to the included angle guide and non-slip bamboo holder, the set is suitable for both beginners and experienced users.

Advantages

• Effective resharpening: The #1000 grit is suitable for refreshing dull edges and supports an even sharpness.
• Fine polishing result: The #6000 grit smooths and refines the edge after sharpening to enable more precise cuts.
• Stable and comfortable use: The non-slip bamboo holder ensures a secure base, while the angle guide helps maintain a consistent sharpening angle.

• Type: Japanese wet sharpening stone
• Scope of supply: Sharpening stone, bamboo holder, angle guide

Usage

1. Preparation: Soak the sharpening stone in water for 5–10 minutes until no more air bubbles rise.
2. Sharpening: Use the #1000 side and move the knife evenly over the stone at a constant angle.
3. Polishing: Then use the #6000 side to lightly polish the edge and complete the sharpening process.

Pro tip: Keep the sharpening stone slightly wet throughout use. A wet stone provides a more even sharpening surface and supports gentle treatment of the blade.
