The sharpening stone, or front slide, is the best tool for manual sharpening of Japanese-style knives. The Japanese sharpening stone KING KDS 1000/6000 is double-sided. The surface of the stone is somewhat larger than ordinary whetstones, so it is well suited for sharpening large knives. The #1000 stone side for everyday sharpening finds more frequent use and is also therefore thicker than the #6000 stone for polishing.

- Grit #1000 is intended for daily sharpening of the knife and removal of burrs from the blade.

- Grit #6000 is for finishing and polishing the knife blade. After polishing with a 6000-grit burr, a mirror-like result can be achieved.

The dimensions of the whetstone are 207*66*36 mm.

Place the stone in water for 5-10 minutes before use. Japanese kitchen knives generally have a sharpening angle of 15 degrees, European knives have a sharpening angle of 20 degrees. Before sharpening, read the sharpening instructions provided by the knife manufacturer.

There is no need to clean or dry the stone during sharpening. If necessary, additional water can be sprinkled on the stone. After use, clean the whetstone under running water and dry it.
