What's Included

Not included: Sharpening oil or anti-slip base/stand.

Usage & Care Guide

1. Preparation: Soak the whetstone in water for 5-10 minutes before use, or apply a generous layer of food-safe sharpening oil to the surface. Do not mix oil and water on the same stone.
2. Positioning: Place the sharpener on a stable, flat surface or a damp cloth to prevent it from slipping during use.
3. Sharpening: Hold your knife at a consistent 15-20 degree angle. Glide the blade across the stone in a smooth, sweeping motion, ensuring even pressure along the entire edge.
4. Care: After sharpening, rinse the stone with warm water (if used as a water stone) or wipe it clean (if used with oil). Allow it to air dry completely before storing it in a drawer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to use oil or water with this sharpener?
The Kitchenley High-Mesh Whetstone is designed to be compatible with both. You can soak it in water or apply sharpening oil based on your preference. Note: Once you choose to use oil on a stone, it is highly recommended to stick with oil and not switch back to water.

What types of knives can I sharpen with this?
This whetstone is suitable for all standard straight-edge kitchen knives, including chef knives, paring knives, and utility blades. It is not recommended for ceramic knives.

Which grit variant should I choose?
Coarser grits (like 60 to 400)[cite: 4] are best for repairing nicks and restoring extremely dull blades. Medium grits (600 to 1000)[cite: 4] are ideal for general, everyday sharpening. Fine grits (1200 to 3000)[cite: 4] provide a highly polished, razor-sharp finishing edge.
