Normal whetstone will become unsmooth after you used it for some time. But this will never happen to diamond sharpening stone. Furtherly diamond sharpening stone with coarse grit could make normal whetstone become smooth.
Diamond sharpening stone will be more efficient than normal whetstone to sharpen the knife.
Normal whetstone will produce much stain than DIAMOND SHARPENING STONE.
Diamond sharpening stone won’t be broken after falling. Normal whetstone will be damaged.
Diamond sharpening stone costs more than a normal whetstone.
There are many kinds of whetstone materials, including natural stone, artificial stone, diamond and so on. Among them, natural stone is a traditional whetstone, less loose sand, but the grinding speed is slow, suitable for the fine grinding of steel knives. Artificial stone is made of high temperature sintering, higher hardness and density, can grind out a sharper edge, but it is easy to produce loose sand. Diamond whetstone hardness is very high, grinding speed is fast, but the price is also more expensive.
The steel knife should be often ground, the rough whetstone grinding speed is fast, suitable for removing the rust and defects on the surface of the steel knife; And the fine whetstone can be sharpened to a sharper edge. Therefore, when choosing the whetstone, it is necessary to determine the thickness according to the use status and needs of the steel knife.
If your steel knife needs fine grinding, it is recommended to use natural stone, which can better maintain the sharpness of the edge of the steel knife. But if you need to quickly trim a steel knife, artificial stone and diamond whetstone are better choices.
Prepare Before using the whetstone, it is necessary to soak it in clean water for 5-10 minutes to make it absorb enough water.
Knife sharpening skills The steel knife is fixed on the tool holder, wiped along the edge of the blade in the opposite direction, and the friction of the whetstone is used for grinding. Be careful not to put too much pressure on the steel knife so as not to damage the blade.
Grinding sequence The grinding sequence of the steel knife should be carried out in accordance with the order of rough grinding, medium grinding and fine grinding.
Grinding time The grinding time is determined by the thickness of the whetstone, the material and the use of the steel knife. Under normal circumstances, each grinding 5-10 minutes.
Choosing a suitable whetstone is very important to prolong the service life of steel knives. Correct selection of the whetstone material and thickness, and grasp the correct use of the method, in order to sharpen a sharper steel knife, improve work efficiency.
For people who love to cook or use knives regularly, a sharp, easy-to-use knife is indispensable. However, over time, the knife will inevitably become dull. At this time, a good whetstone is particularly important. But there are many kinds of whetstones on the market, how to choose? This article will reveal the secrets of choosing a whetstone to give your knives a new look!
Natural whetstone: Natural whetstone is mostly ore, such as whetstone, etc., hard texture, strong grinding force, suitable for grinding blunt tools. But the natural whetstone needs higher sharpening skills, otherwise it is easy to damage the tool.
Synthetic whetstone: Synthetic whetstones are made of man-made materials such as ceramic and emery. This kind of whetstone has a uniform texture, is easy to use, and is suitable for grinding tools of various materials. For beginners, a synthetic whetstone is a better choice.
The mesh number of the whetstone indicates the roughness of its surface. The lower the mesh number, the rougher the surface and the stronger the grinding force. The higher the mesh number, the more delicate the surface, the better the polishing effect. Generally speaking, the tool can be sharpened with a low mesh whetstone, and then polished with a high mesh whetstone to achieve the ideal sharpness and gloss.
Soak the whetstone in water for about 10 minutes to fully absorb water. Then place the whetstone on a stable platform to ensure that it does not slip during the sharpening process.
Different types of knives require different sharpening angles. Generally speaking, the sharpening Angle of the kitchen knife is between 15 and 20 degrees. Holding this Angle, gently push and pull the tool against the whetstone to ensure even force on the blade.
During the sharpening process, the two sides of the tool should be alternately ground to maintain the balance of the blade. The number of grinding times on each side should be the same to avoid the phenomenon of off-edge.
After sharpening the tool, you can gently touch the blade with your fingers to check its sharpness. If the blade is still a little dull, you can continue grinding.
The grindstone is made of sandstone, the mesh number represents the thickness of sandstone particles, the larger the mesh number, the smaller the particles, the general grindstone is 600 mesh, the ultra-fine is 1200 mesh generally low mesh number of grindstone for rough grinding, high.
The whetstone is composed of sandstone, the mesh number represents the thickness of sandstone particles, the larger the mesh number, the finer the particles. Generally, the low mesh number of whetstone is used for coarse grinding, and the high mesh number is used for fine grinding household, just to sharpen the kitchen knife, the hardware market of ten dollars a piece of 800 mesh unknown whetstone is absolutely enough to replace the grindstone mesh number with sandstone particle diameter.
Household whetstone is used to sharpen the stone, any sand rock can be sharpened gray clay sand rock may be best quartz is also good, but very rare granite can also be used the key is to grind out the blade must be sharp and durable, and not easy to produce nicks General type for the production of materials sandstone 1 sandstone is a kind of deposition.
1. If the whetstone is a newly bought whetstone, it should be soaked for a period of time, so that it will be more humid and can be grinded more easily.
2. Fix the whetstone and then fix the whetstone, which can be fixed with a wooden board or plastic board, which is a very good method to allow us to sharpen the knife in the process.
