KINGPB-05 Japanese Combination Whetstone (220/800 Grit)

The KING PB-05 is a Japanese combination whetstone, offering both a coarse 220 grit side for shaping and a medium 800 grit side for sharpening carbon steel tools. It comes with a plastic holder and clear case. Manufactured in Japan, it's designed for efficient sharpening of knives, chisels, and other tools. The dual-layer design provides convenience for users needing both coarse and medium grit sharpening.

I have a super cheap nakiri that Ill use to dispatch anything with a bone smaller than 10 lbs (I’ll use my big rhino cleaver over anything heavier). The knife dulls kinda quickly and chips easily. I know it’s not what the knife was meant for but meh. I have other expensive Japanese whetstones but nothing under 1000 grit so I got this to take out any nicks and chips and it works wonderfully for that job. After taking out the chips with the lower grit i usually take a quick break and flip it to the 1000. I don’t usually go any higher with my cheap knives and this combo stone does the job. I suggest getting this for anyone starting out or practicing with cheap knifes go get a feel for hand placement and sound coming from the stone.

I like that this block is very even and smooth out of the box so you can sharpen right out of the box and do not need a flattening stone to use it. it is very durable and does not chip as easily as a low quality block.i feel fully confident to put my premium ($100+) knives on this block to sharpen without dulling due to unevenness.i still recommend a flattening stone after using for a while though.

I'm sure this stone will perform just as well as the other king stones I have but I would've liked for it to arrive in one piece considering the price. Probably Amazons fault considering it wasn't wrapped in bubble wrap like the last one I bought but disappointing nonetheless

Sharpened our kitchen knives. Put a keen edge on them.

Don't know if it is just the ones I got, but they are uneven.The box the came in was was yellow with age so.....

I love this l stone combo from King. I been able to repair nicks and chips with the 220 and resharpen my kitchen knives with the 800 side. Highly recommend this stone.
