The details
A closer look
The Samura whetstone #2000 is a single-layer sharpening stone for steel kitchen knives. It sharpens the edge, removes the marks left by coarse sharpening and is suitable even for very hard blades.
Grit and sharpening
The grit number describes how fine a whetstone is: the higher the number, the finer the abrasive. At #2000, this stone takes over from coarser work: it smooths out the traces of coarse sharpening and gives your steel knives a sharp edge.
All the abrasive grains in this stone are completely uniform, for smooth, high-quality sharpening.
Size, weight and warranty
The stone measures 185 × 65 mm and is 19 mm thick, with a net weight of 294 g. It comes with a 2-year warranty.
Best uses
- Sharpening steel kitchen knives, including very hard blades
- Removing the marks left by coarse sharpening
- Double-bevel knives, one side at a time until a burr appears
- Single-bevel Japanese knives, bevelled side first
Care and sharpening
Soak the whetstone completely in water for 10–15 minutes before use and keep it wet while you sharpen. 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. Repeat on a finer stone if needed.
