Review on πŸ”ͺ KING KW65 Combination Whetstone Plastic: The Perfect Tool for Sharpening Blades by Brandon Skeet

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This should be in my kitchen until I die.

I have never used a wet stone to sharpen knives before. I've always used equipment you can buy at grocery stores or online. I decided to buy this wet stone for my kitchen knives. The device I used was old and worn out. This stone was fantastic. Using the 1000 grit side is great for knives that are common kitchen blunts and need to be re-sharpened, but this 6000 grit side polishes the blade brilliantly. The first knife I used after sharpening was the one I last tried slicing a lime with and noticed that it rips and breaks the skin more than it cuts. Anyway, I used it and it went through with no problems. Others I've sharpened have done a great job of thinly slicing tomatoes and cucumbers. I was very pleased. But there is one thing. If you have a knife with an exceptionally dull blade. I would suggest sharpening it first with a cheaper sharpener that will get it to an acceptable level of sharpness, or buy 600 and 800 grit stones and work them down to 1000 grit. Otherwise you'll be stuck with 1000 grit there forever stay wearing your stone life in process. The 1000 and 6000 grit are for regular maintenance, not trying to fix a terribly dull blade.

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
