For Western knives, we start with a 250 grit waterstone and then refine the edge with 1000 grit. For Japanese blades, we continue refining the edge with 2000 grit, 3000 grit, 5000 grit, 8000 grit, 10,000 grit, and maybe even a 12,000 grit stone, depending on the type of steel and function of the knife. We finish all knives on a  leather strop with Jeweller’s Rouge, to clean up and polish the final edge. This is the way knives are sharpened at the factory\/workshop where they are made. In our opinion, it’s the best way to return a blade to its original sharpness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWe also sell all the equipment needed for sharpening and maintenance at home. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/knifewear.mom\/collections\/sharpening\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/knifewear.mom\/collections\/sharpening\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eCheck out the collection here\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eEvery knife is constructed individually from different materials so each knife needs unique attention. We’ll sharpen most Western blades to 22 degrees, Japanese blades to 15 degrees, and the finest\/handmade Japanese blades to 11 degrees.
