Product Overview

Restore a dulled kitchen-knife edge with the King Deluxe K1000, a 1000-grit whetstone for the medium sharpening stage. The single-grade block gives you one consistent abrasive surface for routine edge maintenance.

Its 8¼ × 2½-inch footprint suits a compact sharpening station. Choose this smaller format when bench space is limited, or compare a wider stone for more room beneath the blade. Add a separate finishing stone when your sharpening routine calls for a finer final edge.

Match the grit to the job

Use the 1000-grit surface for a dulled edge. A visibly nicked blade may need a coarser repair stage first, while a finer finishing stone serves a later refinement step. Choose the sequence for the condition and intended finish of the knife, rather than using the same routine for every blade.

Prepare a stable sharpening station

Use water to prepare the stone, following the instructions supplied with it. Secure the block before starting, leave space for the full blade stroke and keep the cutting edge under control. Follow the knife maker’s guidance for its bevel and sharpening angle.

Keep the working face flat

Rinse the stone after sharpening and allow it to dry in a shaded area before putting it away. Check the working face for hollows as it wears. Flatten a dished surface with suitable water-resistant abrasive paper or a stone-flattening tool so the next sharpening session starts on an even face.
