Made in Japan, these are original KING brand 1000/6000 grit combination whetstones.

It is perfect for sharpening all types of kitchen and fishing knives and restores dull edges to razor sharp in less time than other kinds of stones. It also has workshop applications and can be used for the likes of planer blades and chisels. They are also used in salons for keeping scissors in top notch cutting condition. The King Whetstone utilises a combination of a coarser #1000 Grit on one side (chocolate brown in colour) to sharpen and smooth the blade whilst the other side is #6000 Grit for honing and polishing the blade. The convenience of having both sides allows for a much sharper knife.

How to Use:

• There are plenty of videos on YouTube demonstrating the correct use of this Whetstone.
• Submerge the Whetstone in water for about five to ten minutes to soak. When there are no more little air bubbles appearing, the stone has absorbed the optimum amount of water. NEVER USE DRY.
• Continue to apply water whilst sharpening. These stones are designed create a workable slurry on the surface and require a good soaking in water for best results. The water combines with small particles released from the stone to form an abrasive substance, which allows the sharpening to take place.
• Try to keep the slurry paste on the stone for as long as possible. Do not wash the slurry away, as this is what sharpens the knives.
• Place the Whetstone in the supplied slip-resistant base for stability.
• Start by using the #1000 Grit coarser side of the stone that is chocolate brown in colour.
• Move the blade back and forth (away from and towards the body) at an angle of 15 - 20° across the entire stone.
• Use light pressure.
• Start at the tip of the blade. Pull the blade over the stone through to the middle and down to the base of the blade. After a short time, a fine edge or burr will have developed.
• Turn the knife around and work on the other side of the blade until the burr has been removed.
• Repeat this process several times as necessary.
• Important: Always maintain the same angle.
• Now repeat this process on the finer #6000 Grit side of the stone.
• To finish, pull the blade twice at an angle to the cutting edge to remove the last burrs. Your knife should now be really sharp.
• Rinse off the Whetstone and clean off the grinding residue.
• Rinse the knives carefully in hot water.

Naniwa #8000 Grit Japanese Nagura Stone

This product is a superior quality Nagura, Made in Japan, and noticeably larger than the King brand equivalent. A Nagura stone itself is a small waterstone. It is mainly used on the finer grit side of the stone (#6000) to wear away hard particles or contamination in the waterstone, and to selectively allow flattening by being rubbed on a high spots on the stone. Another usage is to create slurry on your Whetstone for more effective sharpening. Naguras are particularly helpful for polishing, so a good approach is to choose a Nagura that is the same grit or higher than your finest water stone. For instance, if your finest water stone is a #6000 Grit, we would recommend an #6000 or the #8000 Nagura offered in this listing. Please Note: A Nagura is not meant for sharpening knives or tools directly. It is to be used in conjunction with a Whetstone.

Specifications:

• Used to flatten the sharpening stone and provide slurry for polishing.
• #8000 Grit Perfect for Polishing on the #6000 Grit Side of the KDS Whetstone
• 60mm x 30mm x 20mm
• Made in Japan

How to Use the Nagura:

• Before each use of your Whetstone, and after 10 minutes or so of sharpening, re-surface the Whetstone.
• The best way to accomplish this is to rub two stones together - the Whetstone and the Nagura.
• After soaking for several minutes, rub the flat sides together until all signs of dishing or metal stain are removed. It's a little like using a pencil eraser.
• Keep the thin layer of slurry that forms as this will promote more effective sharpening.

Naniwa IO-1122 #60 Grit Flattening Stone

For over 60 years, Naniwa has been manufacturing quality waterstones in Osaka, Japan. Flattening your whetstone is important to maintain optimal performance.

Soak both flattening and whetstone prior to use. It can be used on both sides of the King KW-65 Whetstone. Please Note: A Flattening Stone is not meant for sharpening knives or tools directly. It is to be used in conjunction with a Whetstone.

How to Use the Naniwa Flattening Stone for Resurfacing Your Whetstone:

• After soaking for several minutes, rub the flat sides together until all signs of dishing or metal stain are removed.

KUROBARA Tsubaki Camellia Oil Knife / Tool Rust Prevention Corrosion Oil - 100ml

Pure Camellia Oil (Tsubaki Oil or Tea Seed Oil) protects steel knives from rust, staining, spotting and tarnish. Can be used on all kitchen knives including high carbon, stainless-steel and even wooden handles. Remember ‘stainless’ does not mean that the knife cannot corrode. The stainless-ness of knives can vary, but all steel can rust or discolour if misused or if improperly cared for.  A great thing about Camellia oil is that it doesn't turn rancid or gummy like most vegetable oils and that's a big plus. Use a light coat and this bottle will last a long time. It won't prevent the natural tarnish or darkening of high carbon steel knives but that's OK since its primary function is to protect against rust. It also has workshop applications and can be used for the likes of planer blades and chisels. Can also be used in salons for keeping scissors in top notch cutting condition.

Features:

• Natural light oil extracted from camellia seeds.
• It is used to preserve and protect the blades from rusting.
• It can be used on knives, gardening and woodworking tools.
• Works best when is applied after a tool is washed clean and dried.
• It will also help preserve wooden handles.
• The 100ml comes in a squeeze container.
• Made in Japan
