How to Choose the Right Stone

Grit selection is everything. A 220 grit stone repairs a damaged edge, a 1000 grit is your everyday workhorse, and a 3000+ finishing stone is where a Japanese knife truly comes alive. We've put together a complete guide to help you build the right sharpening progression for your knives.
