Description
Masahiro S-1000 Sharpening Stone [40183]
Stones are the best way to grind, sharpen, and polish a cutting edge. This method is also used by Japanese knife factories.
The Masahiro S-1000 Medium sharpening stone is a flat, rectangular stone with dimensions of 180x50x17mm and a grit (number of grains, abrasive particles per cm 2 ) of 1000, used to restore sharpness to slightly dull, regularly sharpened knives. A stone of this grit is the primary tool for knife sharpening. The stone is placed on a plastic base with rubber, non-slip feet. Before use, the stone should be placed in water for a few minutes and must not be allowed to dry out during sharpening.
Masahiro recommends the following grit for knives:
- #100 - #600 for very dull knives and those with damaged cutting edges
- #800 - #1000 for regularly sharpened, slightly dull knives
- #1500 - #3000 for final smoothing and polishing
