This stone is fit to be used in an inclined position, thanks to a pratical fixing system allowing a quick drying
of both sides of the stone. The basin collects the water necessary for sharpening and is provided with drainage grooves.
The 400 grain is perfect to sharpen the edge of knives and the 1000 grain to polish the edge of knives and to guarantee an excellent slipping cut for a long time.
Dimensions of stone 25,2x9,4x3,5 cm.
FAQs
Why is it important to sharpen knives?
A sharp knife is safer and more efficient: it requires less force and delivers precise cuts. A dull blade can slip and increase the risk of accidents.

How often should I sharpen my knives?
It depends on how often you use them and the type of blade. Generally, regular honing with a honing steel is recommended, along with deeper sharpening every few months or when the knife loses effectiveness.
Read More
Should I use a honing steel or a sharpener?
A honing steel maintains the edge and prolongs the life of the knife, but it doesn’t actually sharpen. To restore the edge, you need a sharpener (manual, electric, or whetstone). The ideal routine is to use both: the honing steel for daily care, the sharpener for periodic maintenance.

What’s the difference between a smooth, grooved, or ceramic honing steel?
A smooth steel realigns the edge without removing metal. A grooved one has a slightly abrasive action, taking off a small amount of material. A ceramic steel is gentler and suitable even for hard blades like Japanese knives.

How do you correctly use a honing steel?
Hold the steel vertically and draw the blade across both sides at a 15–20° angle using light, steady strokes. Just a few passes are enough to maintain the edge.

Can I sharpen any type of knife?
Almost all types, but be careful with serrated or ceramic blades: they require specific tools or techniques. Always check the manufacturer's guidelines or ask us for advice.
