Stone sharpener for sharpening knives, whetstone 400/1000 + EBOOK

The Bacher double-sided stone sharpener is designed for sharpening all types of kitchen and outdoor knives, pocket knives, machetes and many others. The wide sharpening surface of the stone ensures proper adaptation to any blade size. The accessories supplied with the sharpener make sharpening easy, precise and safe.

A stone sharpener quickly restores the desired sharpness to blades, making activities that require the use of a knife extremely easy and pleasant. The stone is made of compressed abrasive grain and has two sides with the following gradations:

  • 400 – for sharpening very dull knives, removing micro-cracks and scratches that appear on knives during daily use
  • 1000 – for leveling and polishing the blade

How to use:

  1. Soak the stone in water for approximately 15 minutes.
  2. Place the stone on the included stand to keep it stable while sharpening.
  3. Holding the knife at a right angle, move the blade over the lower grade stone for about 10 minutes, applying constant, very light pressure.
  4. Turn the stone over and repeat the process.

A detailed description of how to use the sharpener can be found in the e-book included in the set.

Gradation of whetstones

There are several standards for determining the abrasive grit of stones. The most commonly used are Japanese (JIS R6001), American (ANSI) and European (FEPA F and FEPA P).

Unfortunately, most sharpening stone manufacturers do not specify the standard to which their products are marked. In many cases the gradation is only an estimate. Bacher whetstones have a certified grit size according to the Japanese standard JIS R6001.

The sharpener has an SGS certificate where the min. grit size is stated.
