Dual-Grit Whetstone

Free 30-day Return
A 1000/6000 grit whetstone with a bamboo base, for sharpening and polishing a Japanese carbon steel edge at home, no subscription sharpening service required.
Two grits in one stone: 1000 for rebuilding a dull or uneven edge, 6000 for polishing that edge to a fine finish. The bonded abrasive wears evenly instead of dishing in the center, so the sharpening angle stays consistent stone after stone. It sits in a non-slip bamboo base built to hold steady through a full sharpening session.

Water only — soak the stone for 10-15 minutes before use. No oil needed.
Yes, every knife ships with a factory edge ready to use. The honing steel keeps that edge aligned day today; the whetstone is for restoring it once it dulls with heavy use.
