Chroma Double Sided Whetstone 1000/3000 Grit + black base

For your safety and for being able to perform easy cuts, kitchen knives need to be sharpened once in a while (some more frequently than others). Among the different types of sharpening accessories available in the market, the whetstone is considered to be the most effective one. That is why this Chroma Double Sided Whetstone can be a super useful accessory to have in your kitchen.

Its double work surface guarantee complete sharpening results. The grit 1000 is the medium grain face that is ideal for the initial sharpening of your blades. On the other hand, the grit 3000 is the fine grain side, which is perfect for finishing and maintaining your blades, so that they retain their edge.

Here is how to use your Chroma double face stone:

- Soak it in water for about ten minutes prior to use

- Next, place the upper half of the blade at 45 ° with respect to the stone

- Apply slight pressure with your index finger and middle finger on the end of the blade and raise it by 10 to 15 °

- While doing this, black filings will appear: this is what sharpens the knives. As soon as the fillings solidify add water and sharpen the rest of your knife.

Because the whetstone adapts to the sharpening angle of the person using it, it is advisable that the same person sharpens the knives each time. If the angle is kept the same each time, the knife will get a cutting edge that remains sharp for longer time! Last but not least, let's add that this whetstone is sold with a plastic base that will provide you more stability when using the stone.
