NEIKO 54003A Whetstone Sharpening Kit

The NEIKO 54003A Whetstone Sharpener Set can sharpen any blade out there, whether you are using it for your work axe, outdoor hatchet, or kitchen knife at home. This sanding stone kit is versatile, suitable for sharpening a wide range of items, including kitchen knife sets, chef knives, steak knives, hunting knives, sontoku knives, paring knives, utility knives, sushi knives, cleavers, Japanese knives, butcher knives, BBQ knives, pocket knives, scissors, chisels, blades, straight razors, swords, hatchets, and axes.

This double-sided Japanese wet stones style sharpener comes with two different grits for sharpening and honing. The green side has a #3000 grit, which is used for sharpening the blade, while the white side has a #8000 grit and is used for honing the blade. To ensure stability and safety while in use, the sharpener features a non-slip rubber pad. Additionally, a silicone base is provided for holding the stone.

For optimal sharpening, it is recommended to use a 15-20 degree angle. Before use, the stone should be submerged in water for at least 10-15 minutes, or until the bubbles stop forming. Then, the stone should be placed on the silicone base. While knife sharpening oil is recommended, it is not required when using this knife sharpening block.

The NEIKO 54003A Whetstone Sharpener Set is made of heavy-duty white corundum, which consists of white aluminum oxide, an iron-free non-disposable abrasive. The green-surfaced side is the coarse whetstone, designed for sharpening the edges of tools, blades, and knives through grinding, ensuring your edges remain sharp on kitchen knives, pocket knives, hunting knives, and more.

The white-surfaced side is the polishing whetstone, used for honing and polishing the blade edges with a fine grit on the pebble stone to restore your knives and tools to their former sharpness. The 3000 grit flattening stone is a medium-to-medium fine coarse grit with a good metal removal rate, recommended as the minimum final stage for knives that are dull but not super fine. The 8000 grit whetstone is a fine coarse with a modest sharpening rate, bringing dull knives back to a factory-standard sharpness and leaving the metal edge with a frosted appearance.
