Sharpening your premium Japanese knives on a whetstone could be dangerous if you don’t have angle guides ensuring you’re sharpening your knife at the correct angle. Without these, your knife may become unevenly sharpened on each side or be sharpened to a smaller or larger angle degree to how your knife was produced. The Yaxell Whetstone Angle keeper ensures this is never a problem.
