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.
Made in Japan
The hands that make it
Seki. Nearly eight hundred years of blade-making.
Seki, in Gifu, has forged blades since the thirteenth century, first swords, then kitchen knives. The workshop we work with there forges five of our six lines.
The handle is made in Poland: a stabilised maple burl body and a bog oak ferrule, meeting the blade at a hand-fitted copper ring in an octagonal profile.

Seki. Fast achthundert Jahre Klingenschmiedekunst.
In Seki, in der Präfektur Gifu, werden seit dem dreizehnten Jahrhundert Klingen geschmiedet, zuerst Schwerter, dann Küchenmesser. Die Werkstatt, mit der wir dort arbeiten, schmiedet fünf unserer sechs Linien.
Der Griff entsteht in Polen: ein Körper aus stabilisierter Ahornmaser und eine Zwinge aus Mooreiche, die an einem von Hand eingepassten Kupferring auf die Klinge trifft, im achteckigen Profil.
Unsere Handwerker kennenlernenThe hands that make it
Sakai. Six hundred years of blade-making.
Sakai, in Osaka, is the birthplace of the traditional Japanese kitchen knife, a craft passed down for six hundred years from the methods used to forge samurai swords. KYU is forged there by a master blacksmith whose family has been at this work since 1927. We make his blades under the name Sakai Kyuba.
The steel is AUS10, folded into 46 hammered Damascus layers and hardened to HRC 62. Each blade passes through around two hundred and twenty steps over roughly three months; the hammering, finishing and sharpening are done by hand.

Sakai. Sechshundert Jahre Klingenschmiedekunst.
Sakai in Osaka ist der Geburtsort des traditionellen japanischen Küchenmessers, ein Handwerk, das seit sechshundert Jahren weitergegeben wird und auf die Schmiedetechnik der Samuraischwerter zurückgeht. KYU wird dort von einem Schmiedemeister geschmiedet, dessen Familie dieses Handwerk seit 1927 ausübt. Wir führen seine Klingen unter dem Namen Sakai Kyuba.
Der Stahl ist AUS10, in 46 gehämmerten Damaszenerlagen gefaltet und auf HRC 62 gehärtet. Jede Klinge durchläuft rund zweihundertzwanzig Arbeitsschritte über etwa drei Monate; Hämmern, Veredeln und Schärfen geschehen von Hand.

Alejandro Garcia Jimenez –
Excellent finish stone. Adds just a bit more polish to my knives after the King 6k. It is thick, and sturdy. Love the Nagura addition. This will not really remove much metal, so I wouldn’t expect to do much sharpening, but it does an excellent job of polishing the edge for cleaner cutting.
Josh Williamson –
This is an amazing ‘finish’ to my kitchen tools! This was the last stone that I added to my collection. I sharpen our knives myself and feel that in the long run it’s better to invest in whetstones and sharpen my tools myself instead of sending them out and waiting for someone else to sharpen them (first of – it’s pricey!) . I like the King stones, especially this stone and it’s a perfect extension to my 1000/6000 KW65 King
Martin Stravinksy –
I used G-1 #8000 stone for lapping and final polishing of my plane blades. Final edges sharper than a razor and polished like a mirror. It came with a Nagura stone, which is invaluable in starting the slurry, as this stone is pretty hard and sleek. Great stuff!
Fran Fran –
Affordable finishing stone.
Jimmy Whitley (store manager) –
Lovely sharpening stone from King, much nicer feel than the 1000 grit I had before. I use the 1,000 for finishing most knives (after a 400 grit naniwa), which gives nice results, and the 1,000 followed by the 6,000 on my Japanese knives, which brings them back to a razor edge. Great purchase.
Jeremy Jones –
I am learning to sharpen my new knives with this stone!
Frank (verified owner) –
The Gold G-1 8000 grit stone has revolutionized my knife maintenance routine. The ultra-fine grit creates an absolutely mirror-like finish on my Japanese knives. The included Nagura stone is essential for developing the perfect slurry. After three weeks of regular use, I’m achieving edges that can effortlessly slice through paper. Yes, it requires patience and technique to get the best results, but the learning process has been enjoyable. I particularly appreciate how the stone maintains its flatness even with regular use.
Zohar (verified owner) –
As a professional chef, keeping my knives razor sharp is essential. I’ve used plenty of sharpening stones over the years, but this stone blows them all away. The grit is perfect for putting an edge on that can handle anything from delicate fish fillets to tough root vegetables. It’s incredibly consistent and dishes out wicked sharp edges time after time. An absolute must-have for the serious kitchen
