Maintaining your kitchen knives is essential for their performance and safety. Sharpening them regularly ensures they remain sharp, efficient, and safe to use. Dull knives not only make tasks harder but also increase the risk of accidents due to the extra force required to cut.
A whetstone is one of the best tools for sharpening knives, offering precision and longevity to your blades. But choosing the right grit is key to achieving the best results.
Coarse Grit (200–600): Ideal for repairing chipped edges or reshaping dull blades.
Medium Grit (800–2000): Perfect for regular sharpening to maintain a fine edge.
Fine Grit (3000+): Best for polishing and refining a razor-sharp finish.
