Made with hard ceramics, it provides quick results and long-lasting use. Its coarse grit (400) removes small nicks and dullness, while the fine grit (1000) hones and maintains the blade's sharpness. This compact whetstone is ideal for cooks who don't sharpen their knives often and comes with a rubber tray for stability during use. Packaged in a gift box, it measures 18 x 6 x 3cm.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"KAI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51732905820426,"sku":"KAI-AP-0305","price":38.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0911\/5520\/2314\/files\/KAI-AP-0305Whetstonesharpener-TheCotswoldKnifeCompany_2.jpg?v=1756925098"},{"product_id":"leatherstrop-21-5-x-4-cm-with-polishing-creme","title":"Kai Leather Strop Set","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe strop set from Kai includes a double sided cowhide leather for deburring and giving knives the final ultra fine hone in the sharpening process, and a fine finish polishing paste to help achieve flawless results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet comprises of:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAluminium oxide polishing paste (extremely fine, 50 ml)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolishing surface: 20.5cm x 4 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble-sided\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KAI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51770323861770,"sku":"KAI-410090001","price":84.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0911\/5520\/2314\/files\/Kai_leather_strop_set_with_polishing_cream_410090001_3.png?v=1768058185"},{"product_id":"camellia-oil-towel","title":"Kai Knife Care Kit","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis knife car kit from Kai comprises of a bottle of Camelia oil, and a high-grade microfibre cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe microfibre cloth makes light work of cleaning the blade and handle, whilst the Camelia oil nourishes wooden handles, and protects metal parts from oxidising and forming rust spots .\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet includes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJapanese camellia oil (100 ml, 100% food-safe)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrofibre cloth (40 x 40 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KAI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51770323927306,"sku":"KAI-425390000","price":33.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0911\/5520\/2314\/files\/Kai_Knife_Care_Kit_425390000.png?v=1768057620"},{"product_id":"whetstone-800","title":"Kai Whetstone 800","description":"\u003cp\u003eA superior grade 800 grit whetstone from KAI, for initial and second stage sharpening and to prepare the knife for fine finish sharpening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSized approximately \u003cspan\u003e18.5cm x 6.4cm x 2cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupplied with a non-slip tray to house the stone during use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoak the whetstone in water for about 10 to 20 minutes before use and make sure that it is always slightly wet during the sharpening process.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean the whetstone and the case in water after each use.
