Sharpening with whetstone is by far the best way to resharpen your knives. This traditional Japanese method of sharpening is a valuable skill to learn as it will ensure your knives remain razor sharp like the day you purchased them. If sharpened correctly, you can get at least 6 to 8 months of general use without re-sharpening – far longer than a pull through sharpener or traditional sharpening steel.
The G1800S combination whetstone includes two grits – 240 and 1000. The 240 grit (rough) is used when blades are completely blunt, or blades are chipped, damaged. The 1000 grit (medium) stone is ideal for general sharpening and is the most commonly used grit for domestic use. The GLOBAL combination whetstone includes a removeable non-slip rubber base and detailed instructions on how to sharpen by whetstone.
