Green Whetstone #2000
Overview
Recommended when you want to sharpen the blade so that it is rounded
This is a relatively soft whetstone among whetstones, and is characterized by its ability to reduce unevenness in sharpening.
It is recommended when you want to round the blade of Japanese knives or Gyuto (beef knife).
If you sharpen everyday, you can use #2000 instead of #1000 to reduce blade wear.
Medium grindstone (#2000) applications
The coarseness is in between that of a medium whetstone and a finishing whetstone, so it is recommended for professional cooks and others who sharpen frequently and want to keep a good sharpness on a daily basis.

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.
