Review: An excellent knife sharpening solution - This is a well made and aesthetically pleasing product that works well, much better than my previous roller wheel style knife sharpener. If you get the angle of the blade right, and use the two surfaces correctly, the results are excellent. The sharpness of each knife can be vastly improved in about 5 minutes of gentle use if you follow the instructions and wet the surfaces well before use. Recommend. Review: Durable, decent little stone, good results :) - I've been using this nearly a year now(11 months), I spend about 10-15 minutes per side of the blade on the 1000 & about the same for the 6000 side of the stone, it still sharpens/honing all of my knives (particularly my Global G-46 Santoku Knife) decently & sharp enough to slice through all meats & veggies with no problems, also fingers as well, so be careful ;) The stone has not chipped, broken off, or worn down at all for that matter, at least not in any visable way I can see, durable enough for me so far! There's no mould growth anywhere, both the rubber ring grip that sits around the stone & the rubber grip on the base are perfect with no wearing, blade holder still in great condition, for what it is it's still doing a good job after all this time, much better result than knife sharpeners that require you to drag the blade through, which does nothing other than giving them a jagged/rough burred edge which dulls a lot faster. Overall this is a decent little block that is still doing a damn good job for what it is. ## Features - 【Premium Quality Material】The SHAN ZU professional whetstone, made of high-quality white corundum material, offers exceptional durability and long-lasting sharpening performance. It is easy to use with water instead of expensive oil, making it an ideal choice for both novice and professional chefs, providing excellent value for money - 【Complete Whetstone Set】The sharpening stone has #1000 grit for coarse sharpening and #6000 grit for fine honing and polishing. It includes a non-slip bamboo base, a silicon base for holding the stone, as well as a knife sharpening angle guide, and an instruction manual - 【Size and Usage】The knife sharpener measures 180x60x27mm and should be soaked in water for about 5 minutes before use.

Should it be wetted with water for use?** A: As some of the other answers have alluded to by correctly spelling it "whet stone". "Whet" means to sharpen or hone, hence it is a "sharpening stone". It will whet without water or oil (it is simply an abrasive stone), wetting it simply prevents heat build up due to friction. **Q: Is this whetstone worth buying? How does it work for Kitchen knife** A: My kitchen knives are the sharpest they have ever been. You need to use both sides of the stone for a perfect finish (20-30 mins a knife) but it's very therapeutic. I'm very happy with my purchase. **Q: Don't whetstones need to be soaked for at least 12 hours?** A: Perhaps no idea. I did it for 20mins and I can cut through silk (probably). But if you want to soak it for 12 hours you can. I may have when I first got it, but can not remember. I just followed the insctructions. Either way its calming sharpening. **Q: Do instructions come with this?** A: There is a little leaflet in the box, but that won’t teach you how to sharpen with a stone like this. If you’ve never used a stone like this, I suggest you look it up on YouTube. There are hundreds of videos on how to do it... once you’ve tried it a few times, you’ll get the hang of it. It’s not that difficult :-) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent knife sharpening solution *by M***L on 29 June 2026* This is a well made and aesthetically pleasing product that works well, much better than my previous roller wheel style knife sharpener.
