All to your taste

Keep your knives sharp with a whetstone!

To keep your favorite kitchen knife razor-sharp, it is important that they are properly maintained. Proper maintenance includes sharpening the knives, which prevents them from becoming dull. Knives can be sharpened in various ways, for example you can use knife sharpeners, honing steel or whetstones for this. But the sharpest result is truly achieved with whetstones!

Whetstones for home and professional use

The Cookinglife range consists of various whetstone models. The brands Wusthof and Cookinglife's own brand can be found among them. All whetstones available in the webshop are suitable for both home and professional use.

How to use whetstones

  1. Before use, soak the whetstones in a container of water for about 10 minutes.
  2. Then place it with the correct side facing up in a non-slip holder or on a tea towel.
  3. Tilt the knife so that an angle of 15 - 25° is created.
  4. Then draw the knife along the stone with long strokes. Repeat this several times.
  5. Then turn the knife over and repeat steps 3 and 4.
  6. Repeat the process with a finer grit to polish your knife razor-sharp.
  7. And voilà, your knife is as good as new!
