Pretty much the same way you would sharpen any other knife using a MIKARTO Whetstone that suits the level of sharpness you desire. You should sharpen it at the original angle which is a 12-degree angle being slightly narrower than a standard knife. The MIKARTO Whetstones come with an ‘Angle guide’ and a concise Knife Sharpening Instruction ebook which shows exactly how to sharpen your knife.
The MIKARTO Shokunin Series X knives are made of high carbon steel and while rust-resistant, it is more prone to rust than stainless steel knives. We advise handwashing the knife and dry it completely before placing it inside its ‘Ever Safe’ Storage Box. High carbon steel is also very hard and does not bend like softer steel would, so this is not to be used in cutting hard materials such as bone or shells. The best practice would be to use a soft cutting board, such as wood or plastic.
This carefully designed tool is actually two stones in one. One side of our stone is #1000 and is designed to sharpen dull blades with accuracy and precision. The other side is #6000 and provides a deluxe polishing effect.
Each of our superior Whetstones is made from the highest quality bonded abrasive compound of aluminum oxide or ‘ Corundum’.Unlike Natural Whetstones, our bonded abrasives provide a faster cutting action and are considered superior in sharpening performance due to consistency of particle size and control over the properties of the stones.
Double-sided with a coarse grit on one side and a fine grit on the other, just the one stone satisfies the fundamental requirements for superior knife sharpening.

A double-sided premium quality fine and superfine honing stone that sharpens and polishes, a knife angle guide that keeps blades steady and at a perfect angle for sharpening, a cleaning or lapping stone for the sharpening stone that keeps it in tip-top shape delivered in an aerated, non-slip, super slick, durable plastic protective box with breathing holes to keep product safe and dry. We also provide a detailed instruction manual eBook with lots of tips and tricks suitable for every skill level.
The whetstone is made for any size knife and its measurements are 7.5 inches long, 3 inches wide and 2.5 inches high and comes in various colors depending on the grit combination you choose.
The difference is the coarseness of the grits and depending on the blade type and how dull or blunt the edge is will decide on which stone you should use. As an example, 1000/6000 is a great 'all-rounder', the 3000/8000 is perfect for achieving the sharpest edge possible whilst the 400/1000 is for a dull edge that needs to be really brought back to life ready for either 1000/6000 or the 3000/8000
