"A whetstone is an essential item to keep your knives sharp. Though it is sometimes mistaken as a reference to the water often used to lubricate such stones, the word \"whetstone\" is a compound word formed with the word \"whet\", which means to sharpen a blade.\nThe process of using a sharpening stone is called stoning.\nFor hundreds of years, the people of Japan have sharpened knives using natural stones lubricated with water. The geology of Japan has provided a type of stone which consists of fine silicate particles perfect for honing knife edges.\nOur stone is of a composite construction, but the essence remains, ensuring a beautiful and sharp finish every time.\n1000 grit stone -Traditionally used as the second step in the sharpening process or to refine the bevel, this is considered the medium or middle step in the sharpening process - the all rounder.\nUse with all of our Japanese knives."
