The Work Sharp Whetstone is a double-sided ceramic sharpener with a solid base with a water reservoir and two-stage angle guides.
Water stone
The Work Sharp Whetstone uses a large-sized double-sided water stone, allowing you to sharpen both small and large knives.
Fine-grained aluminium trioxide stone (colloquially known as alumina) has a high hardness, making it suitable for sharpening almost any steel used to make knives.
Aluminium oxide is not only very effective, but also easy to clean. The water stone should be soaked before use and during sharpening.
To prepare the stone for use, simply immerse it completely in water and leave it for a few minutes, or until no air bubbles have formed.
High gradations
Duplex stone has two premium grades 1000 and 6000. We can use the 1000 grade for sharpening slightly dull knives or for pre-polishing edges.
The 6000 gradation is used to polish on the so-called mirror and focus the final image. This functionality makes the Work Sharp Whetstone ideal for sharpening Japanese kitchen knives and other tools for precision grinding.
Robust base
The stone comes with a polymer base that prevents the stone from moving during sharpening and allows the other side of the stone to be constantly watered.
The water in the main reservoir moistens the stone and makes it easier to remove the stone, which has an impact on the ease and speed of cleaning.
Interchangeable corner guides
Work Sharp Whetstone is available with 15° and 17° angle guides (magnetically mounted). Once the blade is positioned against the guide, it is sufficient to pull the blade evenly across the sharpening plate at a constant angle.
This simple and practical simplification means that after a short time, manual sharpening techniques will not be a problem. Pre-set guide angles of 15° and 17° are available for kitchen knives, fillet knives and precision cutting tools.
Of course, after dismantling the guides, we can sharpen them to another, independently defined angle.
