What kind of knife do you want to sharpen?

Before choosing a whetstone, check the material and condition of the blade you want to sharpen.

In order to choose the most suitable whetstone, it is important to first know your knife well!

First, let's take a look at the material of the knife.
If it is a general knife on the market, it will be written on the package at the time of purchase. Alternatively, the material may be printed on the knife. If you don't know, try searching for the same product on the manufacturer's website or online shops.

The materials of knives vary depending on the proportion of metal used in each knife. Many knives are made of stainless steel, and these knives can be sharpened using a whetstone.

You should be careful about knives that are made of hard materials such as ceramic.
Have you ever seen a knife with a pure white or black blade? That is a ceramic knife.
As the name suggests, the material used for the blade is ceramic.
Ceramic, which is the material of ceramic knives, has excellent wear resistance and is extremely hard.

It has the advantage of not rusting and maintains its sharpness for a long time, making it easy to maintain. However, it also has the disadvantage of being prone to spills and being difficult to sharpen once it loses its sharpness.
In fact, ceramic knives can only be sharpened with a diamond whetstone made from hard diamond particles. whetstone knife sharpening how to sharpen a knife knife sharpening stone knife whetstone sharpening sharp knife whetstone recommended sharpness knife sharpening tool sharpening stone knife whetstone edge sharpener whetstone stainless steel knife whetstone natural whetstone king blade mastermind knife recommended professional
