Sharpening Tools

A dull blade is useless in the kitchen and can be dangerous to you and your chefs. There are a variety of tools used to sharpen kitchen knives. These include sharpening stones like water stones and whetstones, which sharpen the blade through grinding and honing. Sharpening stones are available in various grit sizes, which indicate the type of finish you will see on the knife. A higher grit size will achieve a finer finish. Grit sizes include 800, 1000, 1200, 2000, 4000, 6000, and more. You can also sharpen a knife by grinding it against a steel or ceramic sharpening rod. Shop our large selection of sharpening stones and steels to keep your knives in pristine condition. We also have knife polishers to make sure your cutlery glistens after sharpening.
