Sharpening stone 3000 25 cm, diamond, KAI

Product detailed description

The KAI AP-0306 Sharpening stone is one of those products that look inconspicuous, but very quickly reveal who at home really takes knives seriously. An average person sees a flat sharpening tool. An enthusiast sees another opportunity to spend half an hour in absolute concentration and then force paper on everyone in the household for a demonstration cut.

Main advantages:

• The KAI AP-0306 is a diamond sharpening stone designed for quick sharpening and finishing of the cutting edge of kitchen knives, which, thanks to the high sharpening efficiency of diamond particles, can even handle the removal of minor edge damage.
• The sharpening surface corresponds approximately to the grit of #3000 of a common Sharpening stone, so it is especially suitable for finer sharpening, restoring sharpness and final finishing of the cutting edge.
• Fine diamond particles have a high sharpening effect, thanks to which the edge can be adjusted faster than on a classic stone with similar fineness.
• Unlike common water stones, the AP-0306 can also be used without soaking and without water, which significantly simplifies quick continuous sharpening.
• The use of water still has its advantages - it allows to achieve a finer final surface of the edge and at the same time helps to extend the lifespan of the sharpening surface itself.
• The diamond sharpening part is created on a stainless steel base, so it is not a classic porous sharpening stone and there is no need to wait for it to soak up water before use.
• The sharpening surface itself measures approximately 18 × 6 cm and provides plenty of space for smooth guiding of both shorter and long kitchen knives.
• The Sharpening stone is set in a practical holder, which also serves as a stable base during work and facilitates safe guiding of the blade along the sharpening surface.
• The lower part of the holder has anti-slip elements made of synthetic rubber, which reduce the movement of the sharpener on the work surface and contribute to more stable sharpening.
• A catching groove for water and sharpening dirt is created around the sharpening surface, helping to keep the work surface cleaner during sharpening.
• After use, the sharpening plate can be left directly in the holder, in which excess water can drain and the stone can subsequently dry.
• The AP-0306 can be used for stainless and carbon steel knives, and thanks to the diamond abrasive, also for blades made of materials that are more difficult to adjust on common Sharpening stone.
• When sharpening double-beveled knives, it is advisable to hold the blade at an angle of approximately 15° to the sharpening surface and to maintain this angle as evenly as possible during individual strokes.
• The AP-0306 represents a practical choice for those who want a fine finishing stone with a high sharpening effect, minimal preparation before use and a stable holder for comfortable work.
• KAI does not just treat blades as another item in a catalogue - for more than a hundred years, they have been developing know-how around cutting edges and, alongside the knives themselves, offer specialised equipment for their sharpening and long-term maintenance.
