The Minosharp 1000 is a semi-soaking and highly effective sharpening stone. This stone is not unresponsive; it shows its character right from the start. The Minosharp 1000 is not difficult to use, as you can feel the feedback almost immediately from the first strokes, and you will instantly sense the stone's effectiveness. The Minosharp 1000 also works well with more challenging metals.
The sharpening stone comes in a sturdy box, which can also be used as a stand, giving your fingers more room to find the correct motions. Tiny rubber feet keep the stand in place on rougher surfaces, but sharpening on smoother surfaces is also possible if you place a damp cloth underneath.
The package includes two high-quality angle guides, which is a great addition. It is rare to find suitable angle guides for smaller knives.

- Storage box & stand
- Angle guides
- Very high-quality, effective, and responsive stone

NOTE!
This whetstone is a so-called semi-soaking stone. It works best after 5-10 minutes of soaking. Do not store the stone in a basin of water. After sharpening, immediately wipe the stone clean with a towel. This will give the stone a clean look and start the drying process. Place the stone to dry in a position where it does not touch a solid surface. For example, place the stone on top of a pencil. Allow the stone to dry slowly, without additional heating. Do not place the stone in direct sunlight. Do not allow the stone to freeze when wet. It takes more than 24 hours to dry. Store the stone protected from dents, for example, in its box.
