Flattening tool for whetstones - restore your whetstones' flatness

This flattening tool for whetstones from SENJEN, featuring grit size 120, is an essential device when your whetstones gradually lose their flatness and effectiveness. The tool restores the stone's flat surface while simultaneously removing metal particles that have embedded themselves in the stone during sharpening. With this tool, you can significantly extend the lifespan of your whetstones.

Ideal for maintaining all types of water stones, ensuring optimal conditions when sharpening your knives.

Renewing worn whetstones

Over time, whetstones become uneven, particularly in the center where they are used the most. This makes it difficult to achieve an accurate sharpening of your knives. The SENJEN flattening tool, with its grit size 120, effectively works to recreate a perfectly flat surface. By removing depressions and irregularities, you ensure that the entire blade of the knife makes contact with the stone during sharpening, resulting in a more uniform sharpening outcome.

Removes metal residue and enhances sharpening efficiency

With time, whetstones absorb metal particles from the knives, which reduces their abrasive properties. This flattening tool removes these metal residues while exposing new, fresh abrasive particles on the stone's surface. The result is a whetstone that performs almost like new, with significantly improved sharpening capability. You will notice the difference immediately - knives become sharper in less time and with less effort.

How to use the flattening tool

The flattening process is simple and takes only a few minutes. First, draw a grid with a pencil on the surface of the stone. Then, move the flattening tool in circular motions over the stone. Areas where the pencil remains visible indicate depressions. Continue until all pencil marks are gone. Finish by beveling the edges of the stone to avoid damaging the knife blades during future sharpening.

With this flattening tool for whetstones, you receive:
• The ability to restore a perfectly flat sharpening surface
• Removal of metal residues that hinder the stone's sharpening ability
• Extended lifespan of your valuable whetstones
