HORL® Whetstone - #6000 Ultra Fine
- Grit #6000: the finest step in the HORL range
- Swaps onto your HORL sharpener, no tools needed
- Smooth edge that feels sharp for longer
This HORL Whetstone 6000 is the ultra fine finishing stone within the system. A coarse diamond disc removes material and brings the edge back to sharpness; this stone polishes that edge smooth, so no rough section remains. You notice the difference mostly with fine cutting work, when portioning meat, and with tomatoes or fish, where a rough edge catches instead of cutting through.
The finer the grit, the longer it stays sharp
At grit #6000 the grooves in the steel are so small that the edge becomes almost smooth. That not only makes the knife sharper in use, it also holds that sharpness longer, since there are fewer microscopic hooks that can bend over or break off.
- Final step in the sharpening sequence: coarse, fine, ultra fine
- Fits the HORL sharpener, so the same fixed sharpening angle
- Ideal for chef's knives, santokus and fine boning work
- Delivers a clean, smooth edge with no burr
Use
Always work from coarse to fine: first set the edge with the diamond disc, move to a finer grit and finish with this stone. A few calm rolling motions per side is enough.
If your knife is truly dull, start with the HORL knife sharpeners and work up from there.
