A compact, traditional whetstone.

Opinel knives are lightweight and compact, and so is this sharpening stone measuring 10 cm in length. Made from Lombardian quartz and carbonates, the stone is easy to carry and suitable for sharpening pocket knives, puukkos, and kitchen knives. Use dry or moistened with water.

This type of traditional sharpening stone works best with carbon steel blades and very thin stainless-steel blades (e.g., Opinel). A knife made from stainless steel is better sharpened with a diamond sharpener.

When sharpening a knife, the sharpening angle is the crucial factor. For beginners, it can be helpful to draw black marker on the bevel you’re sharpening and check after the first strokes what kind of angle you are creating. With repetition, the correct angle becomes muscle memory and sharpening becomes effortless.
