Japanese whetstone

Keep your kitchen knives as sharp as the day you got them with the HENDI by Naniwa Japanese whetstone. Developed in collaboration with one of the most renowned Japanese whetstone manufacturers, this double-sided whetstone gives you exactly the control you need when you want a sharp, even and durable edge. The stone combines two different grain sizes (grit) on the same block, so you can both straighten a dull or slightly damaged edge and hone it to a razor-sharp finish. It's a professional solution that's simple enough for anyone to learn to use – whether in a restaurant kitchen or at home.

Two variants – choose the grit combination that suits your needs

The sharpening stone comes in two models with different grit combinations, so you can choose the set that best suits your knives and your usage pattern. The coarse side (e.g. 220 or 1000 grit) is used to restore a dull or uneven edge, while the finer side (e.g. 1000 or 3000 grit) is used to refine and polish the edge so that the knife glides easily through vegetables, meat and fish. The advantage of having two grit levels in one stone is that you don't have to buy several separate sharpening stones - you simply turn the stone over when you are ready for the next step in the process.

The size of the stone is practical and well-made: the length provides a comfortable working area where you can guide the knife in long, controlled strokes, and the width makes it easy to maintain a stable contact surface between knife and stone. It is delivered in a practical box, which both protects the stone during storage and makes it easy to carry it with you if you work in several places. At the same time, the stone does not require any special maintenance – apart from using it with water and cleaning after use, it is ready for many years of faithful service.

Ideal for Japanese knives - but also for the rest of the kitchen

A Japanese whetstone like this is the perfect match for sharp Japanese knives , which are often made of harder steel and deserve a controlled, fine sharpening. But it works just as well for good European chef's knives, utility knives and smaller herb knives. With a little practice, you will gain full control over the sharpening process: you determine the pressure, angle and number of strokes, and can thus adapt the sharpness precisely to your own style.

Instead of sending your knives for sharpening or using fast, aggressive “knife sharpeners”, this Japanese whetstone gives you a much more gentle and precise method that both extends the life of your knives and provides better cutting performance in everyday life. In short: the HENDI by Naniwa whetstone is a piece of Japanese quality that elevates your entire kitchen equipment – ​​and is an investment you feel every time you put the knife in the ingredients.
