Coarse Grit for Thorough Sharpening

With a grit size of 220, this whetstone sits among the coarser options, making it particularly well suited to the initial phase of sharpening. The coarse surface quickly and effectively removes material from the knife blade, which is necessary when restoring a very dull knife or repairing minor edge damage. This stone forms the foundation for further sharpening with finer grit sizes.

How to Achieve the Best Results

For optimal results, soak the stone in water for a minimum of 30 minutes before use. This ensures the stone is properly saturated and ready to perform. During sharpening, it is essential to maintain a consistent angle on the knife – typically around 12–13 degrees depending on the knife type. Move the knife down the stone with even pressure to ensure consistent sharpening across the entire edge. After using this coarse stone, it is recommended to continue with finer grit sizes to achieve the ultimate sharpness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I always start with a stone this coarse?
No, only if your knife is very dull or has damage. For routine maintenance, you can start with a finer grit size.

How do I know whether I'm holding the correct angle during sharpening?
You can use an angle guide to begin with, or mark the edge with a marker pen – once the marking has been sharpened away, you have found the correct angle.
