Knife Sharpening Stones & Rods ▾

Give your knives the sharpness they deserve with our assortment of sharpening stones, strops, and honing rods. With a vast selection of abrasives and materials to choose from, our goal is to offer you the right tool for your needs. So whether you need to upkeep your Japanese knives, traditional kitchen knives, outdoor knives, hatchets, and even more, we have what you need. That being said, shopping for these sharpening accessories can be a challenging task as there are many options, so we've broken it down to make your shopping experience a little easier.

Sharpening Stones: The all-encompassing option, everyone is seeking for, the #1000 stone is known as the best-balanced sharpening grit for most knife styles. From #200 to #800, these are designed for effective knife repairs and sturdy outdoor blade sharpening. For admirers of Japanese knives and traditional-style kitchen knives, our range extends to grits between #800 and #2000, ensuring foundational sharpening that can surpass most expectations. For the polishing refinement of an edge, we go with grits surpassing #2000, providing that additional crisp feel, shine, and wear resistance.

Honing Rods: An underestimated tool, often forgotten and left aside, however, it is known as one of the best edge upkeep tools that everyone can easily learn to use at home or even in a professional environment. However, be careful, as honing rods can come in various abrasive sizes and materials and can be damaging to certain knives. This is why we recommend the Ceramic honing rod option: it's soft enough to avoid damaging high-end cutlery like Japanese knives but hard enough for them not to bite into the material, as metal steel rods might do. This is also a great option for traditional knives, making it a one-stop and versatile choice for most.

Leather Strops: A legacy that keeps shining, and shining is the right term. Leather strops are easy to use, and with some added compounds, they can refine the sharpness of your knife, giving it that shiny edge and crisp cutting feel. So whether you've just finished sharpening your knife or are looking to simply give it maintenance, the strops are a great option to finish with. Often considered an alternative to the honing rod, this tool is not to be underestimated.

Flattening Stones & Compounds: A gem in the rough, often forgotten by sharpening novices, resulting in uneven wear of the sharpening surface and a poorly refined cutting core. Most commonly available in the form of stone or powder, the purpose of this material is to keep your whetstone surface flat and smooth, resulting in optimal grinding and polishing power.
