The perfect tool for sharpening all Straight-Edged Knives!
With the Wüsthof Ceramic Whetstone Sharpener, you have the chance to use a traditional method for sharpening knives which is preferred by many over a knife sharpener. Whetstones do require more time and a little more skill to use, however.
The firm but still porous structure of the stone continuously releases small particles during the sharpening process. The powder in combination with water allows the sharpening to take place. Please use with water ONLY, do not use with oil.
This Ceramic Whetstone is suitable for sharpening all straight-edged knives with its two-sided structure, the Gray side is coarse, and the Green side is fine. The Gray side is suitable for aggressively removing small metal flaws from the blade, while the green side is used to achieve a sharp edge.

Advice
Immerse the stone in water before use for 20-30 minutes. Always place the stone on a flat surface and make sure it is secure before sharpening. use the whole surface of the stone when sharpening to keep it from bowling out.
By using gentle pressure, simply draw the edge of the blade at a 20-degree angle across the stone from the handle to the tip. Repeat this same motion on the other side of the knife.
- USE WATER ONLY. DO NOT USE OIL
- All knives (except those with a serrated edge) should be sharpened regularly for optimum performance. Ideally, this should be done every time you use your knife
- Knife sharpeners should be washed regularly with water, to remove oils or metal particles, which may build up on the sharpener and reduce its efficiency
- Knife sharpeners are constantly being worn and will eventually need replacing - this is to be expected and is not the sharpener's fault. (Although you will need a lot of sharpening to go through a whetstone)

**Note**: The reason some variants have two product codes is because Wüsthof has redesigned their logo and packaging. The two codes denoted above for each variant are the new one and the old one, respectively. The Blade is the same, despite slight branding differences.
