Review on πŸ”ͺ Ultimate kitchen sharpening tool: Sharpening Whetstone Waterstone Sharpeners by Ken Kowal

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Incorrect grain numbering.

This stone is suitable and affordable for those who cook at home and want their knives to have an edge to cut the steak better. I spent about 1 hour sharpening my 1000 grit chef's knife, which seemed pretty slow, only to switch to the 6000 grit side and find that the 6000 grit side is actually much rougher than the 6000 grit side 6000 grit .marked 1000. It's all the way back. Just to confirm I'm not crazy I sharpened one side of the blade at 1000 and the other at 6000 and yes the side marked 1000 (blue) is the actual 6000 grit and the side marked 6000 (white) is the actual grit is 1000. I'm talking about 6000/1000 grit very generically now because if you can't figure out which side is which, God only knows if the stone really is 1000/6000 grit. So be careful. Check your stone first and don't trust the numbers printed on it. After another sharpening process after about 1 hour, my chef's knife cut better than ever. He passed the paper test.
