This ultra-fine whetstone is better referred to as a "polishing stone" due to its very fine 5000-grit surface. All sharpening stones remove metal from the edge of your knife, but this one is so smooth that it removes very little. Ideal for daily use, this stone will polish the microscopically rough burrs in your knife's edge so that you achieve butter-smooth cuts that reduce fatigue and wear after a long day in the kitchen. As with all block-style whetstones, put some water on the surface of this stone while using, as it will lubricate the knife and keep the stone clean.
