Niwaki Combination Whetstone 1000 / 3000

A versatile whetstone for sharpening and honing knives, recommended by our friends at Blenheim Forge. 

---DETAILS---

A great value Japanese ceramic composite whetstone, this Niwaki Combination Whetstone has been recommended to us by our friends at . Use the red ochre coarse grit side (1000) for removing small nicks and sharpening blunt knives. Use the yellowish-brown fine grit side (3000) to polish and finish and for normal edge maintenance. For extremely blunt or chipped knives, a lower starting grit may be more appropriate, but this number is great for semi-regular sharpening and honing. The stone only needs to soak for five minutes before use instead of the normal 10-15. It measures 18.5 x 6.5 x 3 cm and weighs 761g. 

---BENEFITS--- 

'If you want your knives to last the longest it can, while performing in top condition, use a whetstone. This one is ideal for chefs and avid cooks who regularly maintain the edge of their blades.'
