商品特徴
Well-balanced finishing wheel
It is fine-grained and suitable for both double-edged and single-edged knives.

The Role of Finishing Stones
Finishing whetstone is used to sharpen the sharpness or to make the edge of the blade shiny.
In the case of stainless steel knives, the sharpness can be restored by using the medium grit alone, but the sharpness tends to last longer when the finishing grit is used.

How to Use Grinding Wheels
- Before starting to sharpen, always soak the whetstone thoroughly in water. Once bubbles stop forming, remove it from the water.
NOTE:
- When left soaked in water, the whetstone may become loose and dissolve. Soak it just before sharpening.
- For natural stones, which do not absorb much water, do not soak in water.
- The soaking time may vary depending on the product. - When placing a whetstone without a base, place it on a wet towel to prevent slipping.
- During sharpening, do not wash away the sharpening residue; instead, sprinkle a small amount of water to keep the whetstone surface wet.
- After sharpening, rinse the whetstone thoroughly to remove sharpening residue.
How to Maintain Whetstones (Surface Correction)
- Every whetstone wears down with use, particularly becoming concave and deformed from the center.
- If used as is, uneven wear may occur, affecting the sharpening process. Therefore, it is important to keep the whetstone flat and free from irregularities at all times.
- After sharpening 1 to 2 knives, use a truing stone or a concrete block to level the surface horizontally.
