The #1000 stone is one of the most frequently used grits in sharpening. Positioned between rough grinding and finishing, it removes scratches from coarse stones and begins shaping a fine edge.
The porous structure combined with a mixed abrasive (alumina and zirconium) ensures excellent sharpening efficiency, even on harder steels. Thanks to its manufacturing method, it offers exceptional longevity and remarkable resistance to environmental conditions (humidity, heat, temperature variations).
This grit typically represents 60–70% of the sharpening effort when aiming for a keen, long-lasting edge.
Suitable for all types of kitchen knives, whether stainless or carbon steel.
Produced in Japan, Kyoto.
Stay Sharp Tip:
This is our go-to stone for regular maintenance. If paired with a #3000, it provides the perfect balance for keeping your blades razor-sharp at home. Mastering this stone is key for anyone serious about sharpening.
Veuillez prendre note
Chaque manche est unique et peut présenter des variations distinctes, telles que des différences de teintes ou de couleurs dans la corne de buffle, ce qui fait partie de son caractère authentique et artisanal.
