Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Shun 300/1000 Combination Whetstone
Customer Review: Fantastic companion to my Shun collection
Summary: 5 Stars
As a restaurant worker who has a rather large collection of shun knives, I purchased this whetstone because I was in the market to upgrade from an old oil stone to something a little easier to use. My oil stone was definitely showing signs of wear. So solely on the advice from a colleague who also uses shun knives, I ordered up.
I expected a good product based upon the shun name but this really exceded my expectations. It is a fantastic whetstone to have and to use for a couple of reasons. First, the price is reasonable (like are you kidding me?? a shun product for less than $100!?!). Secondly, my old stone didn't seem to have the best combination of grit - a coarse and a medium - whereas this shun stone has a coarse and a fine and believe it or not that fine grit really makes all the difference in the world between getting those shun knives back to their original razor edge as it will do for any knife. Thirdly, the ease of which this is done is amazing. With several passes on the coarse side, it only takes a couple passes on the fine side to bring a dull knife back to sharp. And working with a water whetstone instead of the oil stone is so much easier. Just plan ahead a few minutes to soak the stone in water and then set it back in it's plastic cradle (truly a great idea there) and away you go. When you are finished, let it sit out to dry. (This may be a downside for some as it takes a good 24 hrs to dry out. I leave mine sitting out on a prep table). And last, the thing that really amazes me is that as you pass the knife along the grits, it really takes no effort whereas my oil stone seemed to be a bit of a chore. Not only did it require a little bit of elbow grease to move the knife along but then there was oil everywhere to clean up. The shun stone leaves no real trace of anything except a thin film of shavings on the knife which is easily wiped off. It makes sharpening knives a breeze and a pleasure.
For anyone considering this product, do yourself a favor and purchase it. For restaurant workers, it's a must. It's easy to use, small enough to fit in your kit or case and quick to get your knives back into shape. For home kitchens, this should be something you should seriously consider buying for yourself. It's easy to use and will help you achieve that confidence that goes with cooking great meals because great meals come from great prep work and great prep work comes from sharp knives.
