Dual-Sided Whetstone
Sharpening stone
• A dual-sided sharpening stone with 1000 and 3000 grit. The 1000 side brings back a dull edge, the 3000 side polishes it to a razor finish.
• Comes with a wooden base that holds the stone in place.
• When will it arrive?
Same day dispatch on orders before 12PM GMT, next working day for everything else. Free shipping on orders over £99. Most UK deliveries arrive within 1-3 working days.
Full details on our shipping policy page.
• What if I'm not happy?
14-day returns, no questions asked. Every knife also comes with a 6-month warranty. If something's not right, get in touch and we'll sort it out.

• How do I look after it?
Hand wash and dry after use. Avoid leaving it sitting wet, and keep it away from bones or frozen foods. When the edge needs a refresh, a dual-sided whetstone will have it sharp again in a few minutes.
Full care guide here.
• Will it rust?
AUS-10 has high corrosion resistance for a carbon steel. The Kurouchi finish adds another layer of protection. Just hand wash, dry it off, and you won't have any issues.
• Which knife should I start with?
Gyuto if you want an all-rounder. Nakiri if you cook a lot of vegetables. Petty for detail work. Can't decide? The Starter Kit comes with a knife, saya, and whetstone.
• Where is it made?
Forged from AUS-10 steel from Tokai, Japan. Three-layer San-Mai construction with a hard cutting core wrapped in two layers of protective stainless steel.
