What stone goes best with the knife I've bought?

- All knives should be started on at least a 1000 Grit stone to refine your apex before progressing up to a 3000 or 6000 Grit stone. Anything higher than a 6000 Grit is not necessary for general sharpening and more suited for protein only or single bevel knives. All knives can be finished on a 3000 Grit stone but some steels (SG2, Blue/Aogami, White/Shirogami & HAP40) will suit up to a 6000 Grit. If in doubt stick to a 1000 & 3000 Grit, more information also available on our blog: https://www.chefs-edge.com.au/blogs/knife-information/double-bevel-knife-sharpening-how-to-do-it-right

Why can't I select a credit card payment option at the checkout?

If you have a Higonokami in our cart you won't be able to checkout with your credit card due to Shopify blocking the transactions as the Higonokami are viewed as 'weapons'. You will still be able to checkout through an alternative option such as PayPal, which allow credit card payments.

Do you do knife sharpening or repairs?
