Sharpening Stones
Keep your Japanese knives razor-sharp with a whetstone. This collection includes synthetic sharpening stones in coarse, medium and fine grits, along with the tools that make sharpening easier: nagura stones for conditioning and creating slurry, and stone fixers and holders that keep the stone steady.
For most cooks, a #1000 grit stone handles regular sharpening, and a finishing stone of #3000 or higher refines the edge. For the full range, including natural whetstones, see all sharpening whetstones.
