Work Sharp - Whetstone Sharpener
Work Sharp Whetstone is a double-sided ceramic sharpener, with a solid base, water reservoir and two-stage angle guides.
Water stone
The Work Sharp Whetstone uses a large double-sided water stone o allowing you to sharpen knives of all sizes.
A fine-grained stone made of diglinium trioxide (aluminum oxide) is distinguished by its high hardness, which makes it ideal for sharpening almost any steel used in knife production.
Alumina cleaning is easy and does not cause much difficulty. The water stone requires soaking before use and during the sharpening process. To prepare the stone for use, immerse it completely in water and leave it for several minutes or until no air bubbles appear.
Gradations
The double-sided stone used in the Whetstone sharpener has 2 high gradations of 1000 and 6000. Gradation 1000 will successfully serve for sharpening slightly dulled knives or preliminary polishing of edges, and gradation 6000 will be ideal for polishing to the so-called mirror and giving the final sharpness to the blade. Such a solution will be perfect for sharpening Japanese kitchen knives and precision grinding of other tools.
Base
Included with the double-sided stone, you get a polymer base, thanks to which the stone during sharpening does not move on the countertop and we can constantly water the other side of the stone.
The water that accumulates in the base tank, moistens the scale and makes the grated material come away from the stone better, which makes cleaning much easier.
Guides
The Work Sharp Whetstone sharpener is equipped with angle guides (magnetically mounted) with an inclination of 15° and 17°. After application blade to the guide, only drag the blade evenly across the sharpening plate at a constant angle.
Such a simple and practical solution, causes that after a short time, we will become skilled in sharpening and it will not cause us much trouble. Manufacturer-defined guide angles of 15° and 17° are used for kitchen knives, filleting knives and precision cutting tools.
After removing the guides, you can sharpen the knives at a self-determined angle.
