## Overview

The King Pro Standard Whetstone is a premium 800 grit medium-coarse Japanese water stone designed to quickly restore dull or damaged blades. Measuring over 8 inches in length, it offers ample surface area for precise honing. Unlike oil stones, it uses water to prevent clogging and maintain a fresh sharpening surface. Ideal for professionals and serious home chefs, it includes detailed honing instructions to ensure perfect edges every time.

## Description

Unlike Western man-made stones, water rather than oil is used on Japanese stones to prevent the surface from being clogged with metal particles. We offer two classes of stone: coarse and finishing. The coarse stones are 250, 800, 1000, and 1200 grit. The 250 and 800 grit are faster cutting and used for repairing nicked edges or reshaping a bevel. The 1000 or 1200 grit stones are used for the first stage of the actual sharpening. Japanese water stones are softer than Western styles causing a fresh, sharp surface to be continually exposed to the tool edge.

Review: Never Disappointed With KING! - Been using KING for years on my Field and Kitchen Cutlery. They have maintained their quality and am happy with the purchase. Will continue to recommend. This one came at a great price. Should have bought more of this grit but will last me another 2 years at least.
Review: I like King Brand water stones - I've been using King Brand waterstones for my chisels and plane blades for years. Absolutely no complaints at all. As a minimum, you will need this grit and a fine grit stone, which will give you a very sharp edge and literally a mirror finish. If you have to flatten the backs of your chisels, you might want to get a coarser grit, which will make that (very boring) job much faster. Water stones are less messy than oil stones... still gets all over but cleanup is quick.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice everyday stone.
*by J***R on August 18, 2024*

I collect stones both new and used. Diamond, oil, water, ceramic, natural etc. Some are good for carbon steel and others are better for stainless. This stone does both rather well for most purposes without a need to progress to finer stones. In other words, I can save time when necessary. It arrived unscathed. I like it.
