Whetstone, F. Dick, Double-Sided, Grit Size 360/1000

F. Dick double-sided whetstone for precise knife sharpening

This double-sided whetstone from F. Dick gives you the best of both worlds with grit sizes 360 (orange side) and 1000 (white side). The coarse orange side is perfect for restoring dull knives and removing irregularities, whilst the finer white side delivers a smooth, polished finish. The stone measures 230 x 75 x 20 mm and weighs 589 grams, providing a comfortable size to work with.

Ideal for home cooks and professionals who wish to maintain the sharpness of their knives without needing to seek professional sharpening every time.

From dull to sharp with two grit sizes

The two different surfaces of this whetstone provide a complete sharpening process in a single stone. The coarse 360-grit side removes material efficiently and can quickly restore a dull knife edge. Once the groundwork is done, you can switch to the finer 1000-grit side, which polishes the edge to a sharp, precise finish. This combination ensures you can maintain your knives to the highest standard without investing in multiple different whetstones.

Correct technique delivers results

For the best results, the stone should be soaked in water for 30 minutes before use, which ensures even and effective sharpening. Hold the knife at the correct angle – typically 12–13 degrees depending on the knife type – and draw it across the stone in a smooth, consistent motion. Always start with the coarse side for dull knives and finish with the fine side to achieve a sharp, smooth edge. After use, the stone is easily cleaned with water and a soft brush to ensure a long service life.
