Sharpening a knife with a stone is essentially the second stage of maintenance of a knife (The first stage is the use of a sharpening steel). The use of a sharpening stone restores the blade to its original degrees and maintains the perfect edge. Nowdays, all the stones are wetstones – due to the composition of the blade – but can also be used with oil.<\/p>\n
Sharpening system: Includes a sharpening stone 800, a stone base, a return stone and a sharpening guide.<\/p>\n
When it comes to stone sharpening there are some basic rules:
\n1. Before use, leave the stone in water for 24 hours. This procedure is done only once, before the first use.<\/p>\n
2. Always follow the same angle and the same way of sharpening.<\/p>\n
3. During the sharpening, add a little water while wiping the blade with a damp cloth.<\/p>\n
4. Start with the smallest number and continue with the largest.<\/p>\n
5. If you use oil then you can not use water.<\/p>\n
We also recommend that you sharpen the knives yourself and not leave them to a “colleague” who knows better. The sharpening guide is a great help for those who do not have relevant experience.<\/p>\n
The number of the ston, work just like on sandpaper. That is, the smaller the harder to repair the blade -in case it has grime, teeth, etc.- and the larger the softer finish.<\/p>\n
There are 2 measurement quantities: the European F European Standard (FEPA) and the Japanese J Japanese Standard (JIS). The Japanese have prevailed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
