Yaxell 67060-9

An example of unsurpassed quality and workmanship is offered here with this Yaxell Ran Whet Stone. To keep your knives as sharp as they need to be. The Yaxell ran whet stone from ginkgo is what every professional or serious chef should have. This is the preferred professional method to sharpen treasured knives. The whetstone is two-sided, with the starter side 240 grit and the finishing side 1,000 grit. The stone should be soaked in water and securely placed in its slip-free rubber base before use. For those uninitiated in this technique, a nylon blade angle holder can be slipped on to ensure that the knife is kept at the desired 12-15-degree angle to the stone. Each sharpening kit comes with a small white leveling stone to smooth out any grooving to the sharpening surfaces. Whetstone measures 7-inch by 2-1/4-inch by 1-inch. Made in Japan since 1932.
