The KING Hyper #1000 Whetstone is a high-quality Japanese soaking sharpening stone designed for both professional and home use. This #1000 grit medium stone is ideal for general sharpening and edge maintenance, making it one of the most versatile grit levels for everyday kitchen knives. It performs especially well on hard stainless steels such as VG-10, R2, and SG2, providing stable sharpening feedback and consistent edge formation. Unlike splash-and-go stones, this is a soaking type whetstone, which should be immersed in water before use to achieve optimal sharpening performance.

This model is available in two hardness variations: Standard type (balanced performance) Soft type (softer feel, faster slurry development) Main photo images show "Soft type".
