Keeping your kitchen knives sharp is probably already part of your process, but many cooks only have a sharpening stone like a #1000 grit and maybe a repair stone like a #320 grit. If you are really looking to hone your knife skills, then you really need to add a polishing stone to your collection. The Suehiro Cerax whetstone #6000 is a pro level polishing stone that will elevate your knife edge from sharp to razor!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePolishing stones have a very fine scratch pattern that gives your knives that “like new” mirror shine. These stones refine the burr on your knives giving them ultra-fine teeth, which result in razor sharpness. If you have not been using a polishing stone as part of your sharpening process, then you have been skipping the final stage in the sharpening process and while you could stop at the sharpening stone level (#800-#3000) a polishing stone will almost certainly elevate your knives cutting capability to a professional level.
