What is Whetstone? Whetstone is a rectangular or round stone with a flat surface that can be used to sharpen knives by grinding them on the surface. Whetstones are actually very versatile and can be used to sharpen other tools such as scissors, garden tools, and chisels. Have you ever wondered why whetstones come with different numbers? That's the grit size. Sharpening stones come with different degrees of abrasiveness which depend on the grit size of the particles the stone is made from. Very abrasive stones are rough and have a lower grit size, while smoother stones are less abrasive and have a higher grit size.
The whetstone is such a popular and timeless tool because it’s by far the most adaptable. The user simply holds the knife at a specific angle based on the type of blade, which means you can use it to sharpen any kind of knife, including knives with a full bolster. Whetstones are also often inexpensive compared to other sharpening tools. Whetstone is simply the best tool to use.
