A whetstone fixer, also known as a flattening stone, is an indispensable tool for maintaining the flat surface of sharpening stones. With regular use, whetstones can develop uneven surfaces, which may compromise the accuracy and effectiveness of the sharpening process. By using a whetstone fixer, you can restore the flatness of your whetstone, ensuring consistent sharpening angles and achieving the best possible edge on your knives and tools.
To use, simply soak the whetstone fixer beforehand, then rub it against your whetstone in a figure-eight pattern or other motions that cover the entire surface. This process removes high spots and restores a perfectly flat surface. Performing this straightforward maintenance step extends the lifespan of your sharpening stones and enhances their performance.
This whetstone fixer is designed for flattening whetstones with a grit level of around 1000 or higher (Nakame).
