Use this medium grit stone to create a cutting edge on a blade. The Home Stone is more appropriate for home use or for those who do not sharpen regularly because it is the smallest size of the #1000 King stones. This whetstone should be soaked until the bubbles stop surfacing. If you want to buy just one stone, getting a medium grit is a smart choice because it is coarse enough to create a cutting edge but fine enough to leave the blade reasonably smooth. King is one of the top choices for sharpening stones among chefs in Japan.
