Kai Shun 300/1000 WhetstoneAbout the Shun 300/1000 Whetstone
Shun knives rarely need sharpening, but when they do, this is the tool you’ll need. A sharpening steel is fine for maintaining the alignment of a knife’s edge, but a whetstone is best for redefining. Shun’s ceramic whetstone sloughs away dulled steel molecules, leaving a freshly honed edge on your blade. The orange side has a coarse grit suitable for removing small flaws in the edge; the finer grit on the blue side refines and polishes. A few light strokes on the orange side, then the blue, are all that is needed. At 6cm wide, this whetstone is large enough to accommodate even the Shun Chinese Chef’s Knife.
