Frequently asked questions
➤ Which grit do I actually start with?
Start with 400 if the blade has genuinely lost its edge or has small chips or cracks. Move to 1000 for general sharpening, then 3000 and 8000 for a sharp, mirror-polished edge. For routine touch-ups, you can often start straight at 1000 or 3000.
➤ What's the flattening stone actually for?
Whetstones wear unevenly with use, which throws off your sharpening angle over time. The flattening stone keeps the surface true, so your results stay consistent sharpen after sharpen.
➤ What can I actually sharpen with this?
Chef's knives, hunting knives, pocket knives, Japanese knives, butcher knives, paring knives, scissors, chisels, razor blades, hatchets, axes and gardening tools.
➤ Do I need oil, or just water?
Water only. Soak the stones for 5 to 10 minutes before use, this creates a slurry that helps them cut properly and keeps them from glazing over. Never use oil on these stones.
➤ Is the bamboo base actually stable?
Yes, it has a non-slip rubber base underneath, so it stays fixed on the counter while you're sharpening.
➤ What if it's not the right fit for me?
Backed by a 30-day return window, no questions asked.
