Grinding stone set Basic in wooden box with two single stones in fine and ultra-fine grit size

The whetstone set Basic for Japanese chef's knives.

This sharpening stone set consists of two water stones. One stone for the basic sharpening (synthetic water honing stone) and one natural water stone for the fine sharpening of the blade. This combination set can be used to restore lightly to moderately worn knife blades to a perfectly sharpened condition.

Heavily worn blades can also be pre-sharpened by intensive grinding on the coarser bench stone. The synthetic whetstone in the set has a grit of JIS1000/F400 and is suitable for basic sharpening. The blade should not be moved back and forth on the whetstone at too great an angle when sharpening, otherwise the blade can tilt and damage the bench stone in the process, despite the hard bond. The ultra-fine natural water stone has a grain size of JIS10000/F2500. With this stone, the blade of the Japanese chef's knife can be given the fine grinding, thereby working out the maximum sharpening potential of the blade. This set is suitable for inexperienced and experienced sharpeners. Tip: If a knife is always sharpened by the same person, after a certain time it will have adopted the individual sharpening angle of that person, so re-sharpening will become easier and easier.

For a safe stand of the grinding stones on the work surface, the stones are equipped with anti-slip nubs.
