Manufactured by a renowned Japanese stone producer, this double-sided stone is a great and affordable choice for beginners and intermediate knife sharpeners. King's #1000/#6000 grit double-sided stone is recommended for owners of Japanese knives with a hardness above 60 HRC. #1000 grit is the most commonly used granulation for general sharpening (for creating a fresh edge on a dull blade), while #6000 grit is a finer granulation for final polishing and edge preparation.
King grinding stones come with a non-slip backing that prevents the stone from moving and ensures a safer sharpening process.
