Sharpening your knives with a whetstone can seem intimidating at first, but with the right technique and a bit of practice, you can achieve professional-level sharpness at home. Follow these steps on how to prepare your whetstone for sharpening and get started on your knife sharpening journey. Never settle for a dull knife ever again!
-
Soak the Whetstone
Begin by soaking your 1000/6000 grit whetstone in room temperature water for 10 to 15 minutes, or until bubbles stop rising and water pools on the surface. This ensures the stone is properly saturated for effective sharpening. -
Set Up Your Workspace
Place the whetstone on its non-slip rubber or bamboo base on a stable, flat surface. This prevents the stone from moving during sharpening and helps maintain a consistent angle. -
Start with the 1000 Grit Side
Use the 1000 grit side to restore a dull edge. Hold your knife at a consistent angle—typically around 15 degrees for kitchen knives. Using light to moderate pressure, slide the blade across the stone in a sweeping motion, moving from the heel to the tip. Maintain the same angle throughout.-
Create a Burr
After several strokes on one side, check for a burr (a slight raised edge) along the opposite side of the blade. This tactile feedback indicates that the edge is being properly sharpened. Repeat the process on the other side until a burr forms there as well. -
Refine the Edge
Once the burr is established on both sides, continue sharpening with lighter pressure to refine the edge. Keep maintaining the consistent angle and even strokes.

-
Flip to the 6000 Grit Side
Turn the stone over to the 6000 grit side to polish and hone the edge. Use gentle pressure and the same angle, performing smooth, controlled strokes to create a silky smooth, razor-sharp finish. -
Rinse and Dry
After sharpening, rinse your knife and whetstone with water to remove any metal particles or slurry. Dry both thoroughly to prevent rust and stone damage. -
Use and Store Properly
You are ready to use your knife! Allow the whetstone and its base to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area before storing. Avoid storing the stone inside the base while wet to protect the materials.
With consistent practice and focus on maintaining the correct angle and light pressure, your knives will become sharp and ready for all your cooking tasks.

Why sharpen your knives?
Despite popular belief, dull blades can be more dangerous than sharp ones. When slicing meat or tough veggies with a dull knife, you must use extra force and pressure to cut through – a recipe for fatigue and even carpal tunnel. Additionally, when a blade isn’t sharpened, it has a tendency to slide and press against food, making it much more likely to slip and cause accidents. For that reason, it’s important to hone your knives regularly.

How to Use a Rolling Knife Sharpener
Rolling knife sharpeners can sharpen a variety of blades, including chef’s knives and paring knives. Use rolling sharpeners cautiously with serrated or ceramic blades, as they require specialized tools.
Attach your knife to the magnetic angle guide and roll the sharpener’s coarse disc first, then the fine disc, along the blade’s edge using light pressure. Continue until you achieve your desired sharpness. A strop can further enhance sharpness by polishing the edge after sharpening.
The frequency of sharpening depends on how often you use your knife. A honing rod can help maintain an edge by realigning the blade, but it does not actually sharpen the knife.
