The King Gold G-1 #8000

With its extremely fine grit size, this #8000 grit sharpening stone is perfect for the final polishing of bevels and backs. It gives a fine, razor-sharp edge to the knife blade. This original Japanese-made whetstone (sharpening stone) releases a constant supply of abrasive particles during sharpening, so the blade is always presented with fresh cutting edges. This allows the stone to work very quickly and prevents it from becoming clogged with the waste metal removed from the edge. For ease of use, this honing stone comes supplied with a stone stand. Dimensions of the stone: 210 x 73 x 22mm.

King stones have earned a worldwide reputation. This is one of the most respected sharpening stone manufacturers, based in Matsunaga, Osaka in Japan.

Japanese Whetstones

Unlike other synthetic sharpening stones which consist of a single abrading agent, these Japanese water stones consist of aluminium oxide, carbide and nitride particles fused together. This blend is mixed with a clay-like bonder and baked at high temperatures to form the sharpening stone. The resulting stone is soft but sharpens very quickly. The soft bonding clay allows the abrasive particles to release very easily when the stone is soaked in water, giving the user a constant supply of fresh cutting surfaces with which to grind, sharpen and hone their tools.

Now favoured by many professionals and occasional users over natural stones, when you buy a synthetic Japanese sharpening stone you are guaranteed a stone with a uniform grit size that produces consistent, high-quality results and does not vary in quality from stone to stone. This means that even those with little exposure to sharpening techniques can easily learn to sharpen their tools well.
