Kasumi combination whetstone #600/#1000: coarse and fine side in one stone

A dull knife is both tiresome and more dangerous to use than a sharp one. The Kasumi combination whetstone has two sides in one stone. The coarse 600 grit side removes small nicks and sets a new edge, and the fine 1000 grit side makes the edge smooth and sharp. It is all you need to keep your knives in shape.

This is a ceramic water stone that needs to soak before use. The water lubricates and cools, and together with dust from the stone it forms a sharpening paste on the surface that gives a good result. The stone is soft enough to give good feedback, so it is easier to feel the angle. That makes it good for beginners, and it works just as well on European knives as on hard Japanese ones.

3. Start on the coarse side and sharpen at a steady angle with light pressure along the whole edge.
4. Move to the fine side and repeat until the edge is smooth and sharp.
