Work Sharp Knife Sharpener / Whetstone Sharpener

Product detailed description

The Work Sharp Whetstone is a double-sided ceramic grinder featuring a stable base with water reservoir and two-stage angle guides.

Water stone

The Work Sharp Whetstone uses a large double-sided water stone that allows for sharpening of both small and large knives.

Fine-grained alumina stone (professionally aluminium oxide, Al2O3) is characterized by its high hardness and is therefore suitable for sharpening almost all steels used in knife production.

In addition to its high efficiency, alumina is also easy to clean. Limescale must be soaked before use and during sharpening.

To prepare the stone for use, just immerse it in water and leave it for a few minutes, or until air bubbles stop escaping.

High grain sizes

The double-sided stone has two fine grits 1000 and 6000. The 1000 grit can be used to sharpen slightly dull knives or to polish a blade.

Grit 6000 is used for final polishing to a mirror shine and to achieve maximum sharpness. This makes Work Sharp Whetstone ideal for sharpening Japanese kitchen knives and precision sharpening other tools.

Fixed base

Included in the package is a polymer base that prevents the stone from moving during the grinding process while allowing the other side of the stone to be constantly moistened.

The water collecting in the base reservoir keeps the stone moist and helps to release the abraded material more easily, which contributes to faster and easier cleaning.

Interchangeable angle guides

The Work Sharp Whetstone grinder is equipped with magnetically attached guides for 15° and 17° angles. Once the blade is attached to the guide, simply drag the blade evenly across the grinding surface while maintaining a constant angle.

This simple and practical tool means you'll get the hang of manual sharpening very quickly. The factory-set angles of 15° and 17° are designed for kitchen knives, filleting knives and precision cutting tools.

After removing the guides, you can of course also focus at another angle of your choice.
