Key Features

• The M24 Series features a generously sized 21070mm sharpening stone placed on a wooden base. The stone’s thickness varies depending on the grit to accommodate different sharpening requirements.
• Created for professionals such as chefs and fishermen, for whom regular blade upkeep is crucial.
• Compatible with all knife types, except those made of ceramic or tungsten carbide.
• The 120-grit option is well-suited for repairing damaged or chipped blades. Grits between 1000 and 1500 are best for everyday sharpening routines. Higher grits (2000 and above) provide exceptional edge refinement and sharpness retention.

Use & Care

• Moisten the surface of the sharpening stone with water before use. While soaking is not necessary, we suggest immersing it for approximately 5 to 6 minutes the first time you use it. This allows for a smoother and more effective sharpening experience.
• Place the sharpening stone on a level, secure surface that prevents slipping during use.
• After each use, clean the stone thoroughly with water, let it dry naturally, and store it in a shaded area away from direct sunlight.
• If a stone is accidentally dropped and chips occur, gently smooth the damaged area to avoid damaging the blade during sharpening.
• Please do not sharpen ceramic or tungsten carbide knives.
