Sun Tiger 120/250 Whetstone NZ – Heavy-Duty Sharpening & Blade Restoration Restore damaged and heavily worn blades with the Japanese Sun Tiger combo water stone 120/250 grit, a powerful sharpening stone designed for aggressive sharpening and edge repair. Ideal for kitchens and workshops across New Zealand, this dual-sided whetstone is perfect for bringing dull knives back to life quickly and efficiently. This whetstone NZ features two coarse grit levels designed for heavy-duty sharpening tasks. The 120 grit side is used for aggressive material removal, making it ideal for repairing chipped edges, reshaping blades and restoring severely dull knives. The 250 grit side follows as a medium-coarse stage, helping refine the edge and prepare the blade for further sharpening with higher grit stones. Coarse stones like this are typically used as the first stage in a sharpening process, especially when dealing with damaged or neglected blades. They allow you to quickly re-establish the edge before moving to finer stones for sharpening and polishing. Crafted in Japan, Sun Tiger sharpening stones are known for their consistent cutting performance and durability. The stone is made using high-quality abrasive material that delivers fast results while maintaining control during sharpening. Its standard size (approximately 205 x 50 x 25 mm) provides a stable and comfortable sharpening surface for both professional chefs and home users. This sharpening stone uses a water-assisted sharpening method, which helps reduce heat and friction during use. Soaking the stone before sharpening ensures smoother strokes and better control, allowing for efficient and safe sharpening without damaging the blade. The Sun Tiger 120/250 whetstone is suitable for a wide range of tools, including kitchen knives, outdoor knives and workshop blades. It is especially useful for users who need to repair or reshape edges before progressing to medium and fine grit stones.
