The Intermediate / Premium Knife Sharpening Set is designed for intermediate sharpeners who want a premium setup with high-quality stones and accessories. It covers a wide range of knives, from Japanese carbon steel and stainless knives to Western-style blades, and features a full progression of grits to handle everything from dull edges to fine polishing. All stones, except the #6000 which comes from the Naniwa Traditional line, are from the Naniwa Professional series. These high-tech stones are among the hardest Japanese sharpening stones available, minimizing wear and maximizing lifespan. They sharpen quickly and efficiently, giving experienced users a noticeable difference in speed and control. What sets these stones apart is their magnesium bonding—unlike traditional resin, it creates a denser surface packed with finely graded abrasive particles. The result? Slower wear, long-lasting flatness, and smoother, more efficient sharpening. Paired with an adjustable stone holder and guide clips, this set ensures a stable, controlled sharpening experience from start to finish. Products included: Naniwa Professional Stone #400 – Prep stage for repairing chips and reshaping the edge. Naniwa Professional Stone #1000 – Core sharpening stage. Naniwa Professional Stone #3000 – Refining and fine sharpening. Naniwa Traditional Stone #6000 – Final polishing stage for a razor-sharp edge. SharpEdge Leather Strop [1-sided] – Polishes the edge and removes burr. Adjustable Stone Holder – Keeps your stones stable and secure during sharpening, removing a major source of frustration for new users. Knife Sharpening Guide Clip [large] – For standard knives like gyuto or santoku. Knife Sharpening Guide Clip [60 mm] – For narrow knives like petty or slicer knives. This set includes two guide clips—one for narrow knives (petty or slicer) and one for standard knives (gyuto or santoku)—to help maintain the correct sharpening angle every time.
