The Essential Whetstone for Everyday Sharpening.
The Global K-45 King Whetstone is the recommended sharpening stone for restoring and maintaining the cutting performance of Global and other premium kitchen knives. Featuring a versatile 1000-grit surface, it is the ideal choice for bringing back a sharp working edge on knives that have become dull through regular use, making it the most commonly used whetstone for home kitchens.
Traditional whetstone sharpening is widely regarded as the best method for maintaining Japanese knives, preserving their finely honed cutting edge while extending the life of the blade. When used correctly, the K-45 can restore a knife to an exceptionally sharp edge that rivals, and may even exceed, its original factory sharpness. For knives that are heavily worn or damaged, a coarser stone should be used first before progressing to the 1000-grit finish.
Manufactured in Japan by King, one of the world’s most respected whetstone makers, the K-45 includes a removable non-slip rubber base that provides stability while protecting benchtops during sharpening. Simply soak the stone in water for 10 to 15 minutes before use, follow the included instructions, and enjoy professional-quality sharpening results from your own kitchen.
