Review on πŸ”ͺ Steelex D1067 800 Grit Japanese Waterstone: Exceptional Sharpening Performance Revealed by Cre Soto

Revainrating 5 out of 5

No more dull knives

A workman is only as good as his tools and a chef is only as good as his knives. So what's the use of owning that expensive chef's knife if you can't keep it sharp as a razor? This stone works very well if you already have a good blade on your knives. If your knives are made of scrap steel, then this stone is not for you. If the edge has nicks or uneven grinding, repair it with coarser oil or a whetstone before using this stone. This water stone can be completely ruined with a cheap knife or an ugly blade. However, if you have a good, professional quality knife that already has a good blade and you want to make it sharper than a razor, this stone is for you. It took me about 5 minutes to apply the slurry to the surface and start buffing. edges of my knives. Once the surri was there, I could sharpen each knife in about 10 minutes. It is really a pleasure to use this stone. Be sure to water well. It needs to be soaked for a few minutes before use, and then sprayed with water about every 30 seconds, if not more often. The base is very solid, with small rubber feet to prevent slipping. And as other users have mentioned, this stone just makes your knives sharper. Use a sharpener to store your razor blade between sharpenings. And let's face it; Also pay attention to good quality. I've seen some lousy steels. I am very happy with this stone. I would recommend this to everyone.
