Product Details :

These are the largest water stones that we offer measuring 180mm in length by 60mm in width and 30mm in depth. The large surface area aids the sharpening performance, allows for the sharpening of wide plane blades and offers extra support for honing guides when sharpening chisels and knives. These premium Japanese combination water stones are man-made from Corundum, a synthetic aluminium oxide abrasive, set in a resin bond. Combination stones consist of two stones of different grits which are machine-fused together to create a permanent joint, allowing you to rotate the stones to select the most appropriate grit. The finish that you achieve with a water stone is an amalgamation of the particle size, durability of the abrasive and the resin bond strength. These water stones have a medium strength bond and wear relatively slowly, releasing fresh, sharp abrasive at a reduced rate in comparison to stones with weaker bonds that release abrasive at higher rates and wear down more quickly.

How to Choose Stone ?

The 1000 grit water stone is the fastest cutting stone and is used to remove nicks before sharpening and to shape and establish a basic edge. The 2000 grit is used to refine the edge and sharpen blunt edges, the 6000 grit removes burr, hones and add a razor sharp edge and the 10,000 is an ultra fine grain stone for final polishing and adding a mirror finish. These large, long lasting water stones have a lifetime warranty and in the event of a failure due to a material or manufacturing defect the stone be replaced free of charge.

Professional Whetstone: 2 whetstones have difference grit . The grit is accurate. 4 sides grit are satisfy with any knife blade needs. 400/1000 grit is typically used to repair knives with chipped edges and sharpen dull knives. 3000/8000 or 5000/10000 grit used to refine the edge and provide extra fine finish/polish on your blades.

The water stone formulation is excellent for sharpening O1 general tool steel, a steel commonly used to make knives, and are fast cutting when sharpening tough alloys such as A2 and M2 high speed steels which are used to manufacture chisels, plane irons, turning and carving tools. You simply immerse the stones in water and allow to soak for 3 to 5 minutes, at which point they are ready for use. It is important to ensure the water stone retains moisture during the sharpening process.

The fresh abrasive particles break down and dull during the sharpening process, creating progressively finer grits, allowing you to move seamlessly from a coarse grit stone, to a medium grit stone to a fine grit stone. After use leave the water stone to dry out naturally, before using a diamond flattening stone to re-level the face of the water stone. These combination stones sit in a polymer base which has four no-mar rubber feet to prevent the stone from wandering during the sharpening process whilst protecting the work surface from scratching. These combination stones come with a 60mm x 20mm wide mini-flattening stone for reshaping the surface of the stone.

Probably one or the best entry level whetstones

I finally decided on Levoite for a few reasons.

Price wise it's not a bad deal at all. I believe you should get a decent quality product, even if you have cheap chisel.

It comes with a little support in case you are new to this and don't know the angle you should be sharpening at.

Works wonderfully / Funktioniert wunderbar

Great stones!

Stones are well made and consistent in surface porosity throughout. The built-in stand work nicely.

Very effective sharpener

This is great for getting chisels really sharp. Read the instructions carefully and take your time to get super sharp chisels.

Absolutely HUGE VALUE

For the cost I promise you it is worth it, I have no complaints. Comes with a rubber grip which prevents slipping, works like a charm, sharpens very quickly and I love the weight of the stone feels very strong

It works well, easy to use, just soak it in water before using.

Excellent

Very good quality and works awesome.

This is a fantastic sharpening stone and a great price.
The rubber bottom that it sits in keeps it stable.
Very impressed.

WORKS GREAT!!!

Does the sharpener come with O-Ring "tires"? I have the system currently without the O-Rings. WORKS GREAT! Which stones would you recommend for chisels and fine knives, both culinary and sporting?

Good quality whetstone.

Effective and simple to use

If you need it sharp.

Gets my knives and wood chisels razor sharp.
