Sharpening Stone for Knives – Sharp Blades with Tyrolit Life

The frequency at which you should use a sharpening stone or whetstone depends on the condition of your tools and knife blades. If garden tools, scissors, or knives are heavily used, it is advisable to re-sharpen them regularly at short intervals.

However, if you haven’t used the tools or knives for an extended period, it is recommended to sharpen them with a suitable sharpening stone before their first use again, which you can naturally purchase online from Tyrolit.

Kitchen knives achieve the perfect sharpness through the use of high-quality sharpening stones, which you can purchase online from Tyrolit. By utilizing the stones while wet, you not only preserve the blade but also maintain the high quality of premium kitchen knives.

A sharpening stone with coarse grit is suitable for preliminary sharpening, whereas a stone with fine grit is recommended for achieving a perfect finish and optimal sharpness. The honing rod or steel is suitable for quick touch-ups. However, you can equally utilize our fine grit sharpening stones for this purpose. Additionally, there are waterstones, corundum sharpening stones, Japanese whetstones, Belgian Coticule stones, natural stones, and silicon carbide sharpening stones available

The grit of a sharpening stone, available in various designs, is categorized into coarse, medium, and fine. Coarse grit is especially suited for very dull blades, with sharpening stones in the range of 150 to 800 grit intended primarily for the initial rough sharpening, followed by finer work.

Medium grit is ideal for knives and blades that have not yet become completely blunt. This grit ranges from 800 to 1,000, and stones in this category, available for purchase online at Tyrolit, are designed for regular re-sharpening of your knives and for refining the edges if you’ve already performed a coarse pre-sharpening.

Sharpening stones with a fine grit are recommended for the final honing. Typically, this grit exceeds 2,000 and is favored by chefs and professional cooks. Thus, stones with a fine grit, also purchasable online at Tyrolit, ensure exceptionally sharp results, making them suitable even for high-quality Japanese kitchen knives.

Additionally, diamond sharpening stones or grinding discs are available, but these are intended solely for quick material removal, like stainless steel.
