It is a good stone to start the sharpening process on, and it also takes care of light resharpening when an edge has lost some of its sharpness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrit and sharpening\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA whetstone's grit number tells you how fine its abrasive is: the higher the number, the finer the stone and the smoother the edge it leaves. SAMURA makes whetstones in a range of grits for different jobs: coarse stones for correcting the blade angle, medium stones for starting off and for light resharpening, and fine stones for finishing and polishing. With a #1000 grit, this stone belongs to the medium group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBegin your sharpening session on this stone, then move on to a finer stone if you want a more polished finish. If the blade angle needs correcting, work on a coarser stone first and continue here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSize, weight and warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stone measures 185 × 65 mm and is 19 mm thick, with a net weight of 353 g.

Sharpen one side of the knife until a burr appears, then the other side, keeping the original factory bevel angle of 15–17°. For single-bevel Japanese knives, sharpen the bevelled side until a uniform burr appears, then pass the concave side lightly over the stone.
