Wusthof Whetstone 2-Piece

Do your knives no longer have the initial sharpness they had and do you find it difficult to use a sharpening steel? This Wusthof whetstone will easily sharpen your knives. The great advantage is that you can sharpen not only Wusthof knives, but also knives with a different sharpening angle.

The Wusthof whetstone, in combination with water, will sharpen your knives. The whetstone has two phases, the medium side (J1000) and the fine side (J3000). You use the coarser side for knives that need to be sharpened for the first time or have not been sharpened for some time. These are the duller knives. Phase 2 is a finer grit, intended for refining the edge. This will give the knife its optimal sharpness. Due to the fineness, almost no steel is removed from the blade. After use, we recommend wiping the knife clean with a wet cloth to remove any residue.

1. Soak the whetstone in water for 5-10 minutes
2. Place the stone on a non-slip surface
3. For duller knives, first use the coarse side of the stone (J1000)
4. Hold the knife at the desired sharpening angle (Wusthof knives 14 degrees)
5. Move the knife back and forth; start at the tip, towards the middle, and finish at the back
6. Repeat this process for the other side of the knife
7. Afterwards, use the fine side of the stone (J3000) in the exact same way
8. Pass the knife diagonally over the stone once; this will remove any remaining burrs
