Wet sharpening stone T6140W is a double-sided stone with grit 400 and 1000 for steel knives, scissors and chisels, supplied as a kit with a rubber holder and a knife holder.
The grit 400 side restores very dull knives with nicks and damage, while the grit 1000 side fine-sharpens the edge and makes the knife sharper.
The rubber holder stops the stone from sliding on the work surface. The knife holder helps keep the knife at the right angle to the stone and has a ceramic surface against the sharpening stone. It is recommended for knives with a width of at least 0.75 inch.
Key benefits of wet sharpening stone T6140W
Two grits in one stone allow both restoring and fine sharpening without changing stone: grit 400 for damaged edges and grit 1000 for sharpness.
The kit relies on three details that control the sharpening result:
- A rubber holder that prevents the stone from sliding on the work surface.
- A knife holder that makes it easier to hold the knife at the right angle to the stone.
- A ceramic surface on the knife holder against the sharpening stone for maximum service life.
How wet sharpening stone T6140W is used in knife sharpening
Sharpening starts on the grit 400 side when the edge is very dull, nicked or damaged, and finishes on the grit 1000 side for fine sharpening.
Coarseness is measured in grit, where a higher value means a finer stone. The classification is as follows:
- Coarse stone up to 700 grit: removes small nicks or reprofiles the blade and leaves a rough surface that is followed up with a finer stone.
- Medium stone 800-2000 grit: everyday sharpening, best results if the surface is polished with a fine stone afterwards.
- Fine stone above 3000 grit: polishes the edge and removes scratches from earlier steps.
