The King Home is a combination waterstone designed for maintaining and refining the edges of kitchen knives, razors and woodworking tools. Its 1000- and 6000-grit sides cover two important stages of sharpening: efficient metal removal and edge formation, followed by fine sharpening to improve the final edge.
1000 grit — effective sharpening
The 1000-grit side is suitable for sharpening dull blades and making minor edge repairs. It removes metal efficiently and can produce a good working edge, even on medium-quality knives. With proper use and maintenance, the stone’s thickness makes it a practical option for users who sharpen frequently.
6000 grit — fine finishing
The 6000-grit side is used to refine the edge after sharpening with the 1000-grit side. It provides a useful intermediate step before moving to a finer 8000-grit stone and can also help remove the burr — the thin strip of metal left along the edge after sharpening.
King stone characteristics
King stones can be considered an upper-budget option. Their manufacturing process includes shaping and firing, which helps reduce wear compared with simpler economy stones. During sharpening, the stone develops an abrasive slurry that supports consistent grinding and efficient material removal. Achieving the best results still requires patience and proper technique.
Preparation and maintenance
Soak the stone in water for at least five minutes before use. As the surface wears during sharpening, flatten it regularly with a suitable flattening stone or diamond flattening tool.
A non-slip stand is included to help keep the stone stable during use.
