Care set by Kai for high-quality kitchen knives.
Everyone is familiar with the fine stropping of sharp razors over a leather blade from movies. Stropping is a refined method of honing and polishing knives to maintain ideal sharpness. At the same time, it cares for the surface of high-quality damask knives.
The stropping belt set consists of a beech wood stropping belt covered with leather and a polishing paste. Regular polishing increases durability and ensures the ideal sharpness of high-quality kitchen knives.
Polishing is typically performed after sharpening the chef's knife. During this process, the knife blade is drawn over the leather. This stropping gives the knife even more sharpness and ensures the longevity of the blade.
Application:
Before the first use, spread some polishing paste on the leather of the stropping belt and massage it in with your fingertips. Allow the cream to absorb for about 5 minutes. Since the polishing paste is very efficient, the leather does not need to be re-applied with paste before every use.
Now, draw the knife with light pressure against the cutting direction several times over the leather. This process should be repeated 10 to 12 times. Then switch the blade side. The angle when stropping is approximately the same as when sharpening with a whetstone.
9. Kai Shun combination sharpening stone
This KAI combination whetstone features two sides with different grits - a coarse side and a fine side. With the coarser 1000 grit, you can level out imperfections and perform the necessary preliminary sharpening. The fine 4000 grit is used for the finest polishing of the edge. The combination sharpening stone should be soaked in water for about 10 minutes before use to achieve the best sharpening results.
10. Kai Shun whetstone
The grinding stone is lying in the practical plastic holder and thus enables a rapid drying of the grinding stone by both sides. The plastic holder is equipped with a drain channel and a detention basin for any water from which the grindstone can be wetted with water during the grinding process. Furthermore, the non-slip feet ensure a safe grip.
