The double-sided sharpening stone in 1000 and 3000 grit has been popular and sought-after. The
Hiomakivi Pack 1000/3000 has now been repackaged for the promotional period and comes with a quality knife, the
Griphinity Pegasus Utility. This knife fits well in a smaller hand and works well as a utility knife even when you're at the cottage.
Now is the perfect opportunity to replace those worn-out market knives with better-quality ones. The difference in blade durability is something that any knife user will easily notice. You can find more
Pegasus series knives here.
This sharpening stone is even wider than standard stones (78 mm). The length is 199 mm. In whetstones, 1 cm more length, not to mention more width, means significantly more efficiency. In fact, I have said that this stone outperforms standard stones of 180 mm x 60 mm in both speed and ease of use by virtue of its size alone.
As usual for Hiomakivi.fi, this Hiomakivi Pack includes the familiar, tried, and tested flattening stone. By regularly leveling the whetstone, you ensure it stays usable longer.
In addition, this pack includes the often-requested blade angle guide. Although I've even called it the 'useless tool of the year,' many users who have practiced sharpening their knives have found it helpful. It gives a good indication of the correct sharpening angle. Once you've got the hang of it, you can leave the angle guide out, and sharpening becomes much easier!
The stone is "surface hard" and does not form a slurry.

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.
