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.

OBS!
Denna slipsten är en så kallad semi-immersionssten. Den fungerar bäst efter att ha blötlagts i 5–10 minuter. Förvara inte stenen i ett vattenbad. Torka av stenen med en handduk direkt efter slipning för att hålla den ren och starta torkningsprocessen. Låt stenen torka i en position där den inte vidrör någon fast yta – till exempel liggandes på en penna. Låt stenen torka långsamt och i sin egen takt, utan extra värmetillförsel. Utsätt den inte för direkt solljus eller frost när den är fuktig. Torktiden är över ett dygn. Förvara stenen skyddat mot stötar, till exempel i sin egen låda.
