Sharpening stone sets

How do I choose the best sharpening stone set?

A good sharpening stone set starts with the right grain size. Sharpening stones come in all shapes and sizes: from coarse (120 grit) for heavy work to ultra-fine (10,000 or higher) for razor-sharp precision. Which grain do you need? That depends entirely on the condition of your knife and what you want to achieve with it.

Choose the right grit and get the most out of your knife

Is your knife so blunt that it can't even cut through a sheet of paper? Then start with a coarse stone. Just a quick touch-up for daily use? Then a combination of medium-fine and fine is often sufficient. Many sets combine multiple grain sizes in one or two stones, so you don't have to work with a whole stack. Smart, compact and efficient.
