This #180 grit whetstone is suitable for repairing chips, restoring a blade's profile, and thinning the primary bevels of a blade. A fast whetstone, but also relatively dense compared to many other coarse whetstones available - which allows it to hold its shape well during sharpening. Great for flattening bevels but still has enough give to it's surface for shaping a mild convex. The resulting scratch pattern is consistent, clearly visible and relatively shallow despite the speed of this stone. Works very effectively with a small amount of slurry on the surface. Highly recommended.
Size : 206 x 72 x 29 mm
This whetstone comes with a small stone for reconditioning the surface and generating slurry, as well as a rubber base.
Although this is a splash and go whetstone, for the first use, we recommend running water over the surface for a few minutes, or even soaking it for a minute or two. Do not leave the stone submerged in water for a prolonged period.
