Key Features

• The M15 Series features a 210 x 70 mm sharpening stone that is 15 mm thick, mounted on a wooden base.
• Compatible with most knives, excluding those made from ceramic or tungsten carbide.
• The 220-grit option is suitable for restoring damaged or chipped blades. Grit levels between 1000 and 1500 offer excellent results for routine sharpening. Higher grit stones (2000 and above) are recommended for a refined, razor-sharp finish.

Use & Care

• Moisten the surface of the sharpening stone with water before use. While soaking isn’t required, we recommend immersing it for about 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 flat, stable surface that prevents slipping during use.
• Clean the stone thoroughly with water after each use, 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.
