Professional combination grinding for hard steel knives
Our combination grinding is an advanced sharpening technique specifically developed for hard steel knives. The process combines ceramic grinding with wet grinding on three different stones (220, 1000, and 4000 grit) and concludes with special polishing on a leather wheel and fine grinding on Belgian brock or artificial sapphire.
Ideal for Japanese knives and other hard steel knives that require precise edge formation and optimal sharpness.
Unique grinding technique for better knife performance
The combination grinding first narrows the blade at the edge through ceramic grinding, after which the edge itself is wet ground. This method creates a knife structure that cuts exceptionally well and becomes significantly easier to maintain in the future. The knives are ground on rotating stones in a wet sump at 90 revolutions per minute, ensuring minimal heat development and protecting the steel's hardening.
From coarse grinding to micro-finish
The process starts with a blackstone silica stone (grit 220) that effectively restores the knife's basic shape. Then, the edge is refined on a super grind stone (grit 1000), before the Japanese super polish (grit 4000) creates an ultra-fine edge. The subsequent polishing on an oil-impregnated leather wheel with honing paste and fine grinding on a special stone gives the knife a sharpness that surpasses standard sharpenings. Our sharpening masters individually assess which finishing stone is best suited for your specific knife.
