Review on 🔪 Kota Japan Dual Grit Sharpening Stone - 1000/6000 Grit by Andrew Schreider

I'm new to knife sharpening and these are my first stones. With the help of some YouTube videos I quickly learned how to use them and the 1000/6000 combo seems perfect for our knives. I also bought a set of leather straps here at Revain which was the final piece of the puzzle for me to get our knives razor sharp and cut paper like these pro YouTube videos. Tip: a) It is best to leave the stone in the water until no more bubbles appear. b) Do not press the blade too hard. Consistent repetition is key AND finishing with a leather strap. c) Be sure to dry the stone for a few days after use. I put it back in the paper box and kitchen drawer too early (although it appeared to be still damp on the inside) and a mound of mold has started to build up in the box. So I threw the box away and dried the stone on the windowsill, where it now has a permanent place. d) Use a bamboo floor. It's part of the system and really helps keep the stone safe thanks to the non-slip rubber base.
