(Video) How to Get an Extremely Sharp Knife Using a Wet Stone. This Really Works for the Experts!

The test of a truly sharp knife is not just the stone on which it is sharpened but in the items it can easily cut. Be sure to wait until the end of the video to see the demonstration!

We sincerely appreciate our host explaining the grit of the wet stone. As an amateur we found ourselves confused over how many stones we should have and what grit they should be. Many videos show knife sharpening with three or four different stones!

In the end, his demonstration spoke for itself. Paper, sponge, tomato and, we bet, if we asked him to cut through an aluminum or tin can he could have did that too!

    It’s “WHET” stone. If you can’t even spell it, you lose most of your credibility.

    I watched my grandfather sharpen knives. I nearly cut both thumbs off while I was AD in the USN

    When I was a child I remember watching my Daddy use a wet stone to sharpen Mothers knives.
