Sun Tiger 100/220 Whetstone NZ – Heavy-Duty Blade Repair & Shaping Restore even the most damaged blades with the Japanese Sun Tiger combo water stone 100/220 grit, a powerful sharpening stone designed for heavy-duty sharpening and edge repair. Ideal for kitchens and workshops across New Zealand, this dual-sided whetstone is perfect for reshaping and restoring dull or chipped knife edges. This whetstone NZ features two coarse grit levels for aggressive sharpening. The 100 grit side is extremely coarse, designed for removing significant material and repairing heavily damaged or blunt edges. The 220 grit side follows as a coarse sharpening stage, helping refine the edge and prepare the blade for further sharpening with medium and fine stones. Coarse sharpening stones like this are typically used as the first step in the sharpening process, especially when dealing with knives that are chipped, misshapen or heavily worn. They allow you to quickly restore the blade geometry before moving on to finer grit stones for sharpening and polishing. Crafted in Japan using high-quality silicon carbide abrasive material, this sharpening stone delivers fast cutting performance and consistent results. The generous size (approximately 8 x 2 x 1 inches) provides a stable surface for long and even sharpening strokes, making it suitable for both professional and home use. The Sun Tiger whetstone uses a water-assisted sharpening method, which helps reduce friction and prevent overheating during sharpening. Soaking the stone before use allows for smoother strokes and better control, ensuring effective and safe sharpening. This sharpening stone is suitable for a wide range of tools, including kitchen knives, outdoor knives and workshop tools. It is particularly useful for users who need to restore damaged blades before moving on to finer sharpening stages.
