Keep your Shun blades in razor-sharp condition with the Shun Combination Whetstone.

This Shun Combination Whetstone offers you two grits: a fine 1000-grit side and an even finer 6000-grit side. This whetstone is a good choice for sharpening your Shuns when they're not very dull. The 1000-grit side lets you put a keen edge on your Shun, then polish it to perfection with the 6000-grit side.

You will need to thoroughly soak this whetstone before sharpening. If your knife is exceptionally dull, try the Shun 400/1000-grit whetstone.

Details:

• Combines fine and extra-fine whetstones in one: 1000 grit on one side, 6000 grit on the other
• Use the 1000-grit side for restoring a dulled edge; use the 6000-grit side to refresh and polish the edge
• Soak stone before using
• Includes rubber tray for stability when sharpening

About Shun

In Japan, the blade is more than a tool; it’s a tradition. From legendary samurai swords to the handcrafted culinary cutlery of today, the exquisite craftsmanship of Japanese blades is admired worldwide.

Since the 13th century, Seki City has been the heart of the Japanese cutlery industry. For more than 112 years, it has also been the home of Kai Corporation, the makers of Shun fine cutlery. Inspired by the traditions of ancient Japan, today’s highly skilled Shun artisans produce blades of unparalleled quality and beauty. Shun is dedicated to maintaining this ancient tradition by continuing to handcraft each knife in our Seki City facilities. Each piece of this fine kitchen cutlery takes at least 100 individual steps to complete.
