Its large surface area speeds up sharpening, while its porous synthetic stone requires soaking for optimal performance. Favored by chefs worldwide, it offers tactile feedback ideal for both beginners and pros, enhancing knife sharpness and durability with every use. ## Description Use this fine grit stone after sharpening with a coarse and medium grit to remove any scratches on the surface or to simply realign a slightly dull edge for a razor sharp finish. Using a fine grit stone to polish your edge can actually help to make carbon steel knives more rust proof. This whetstone has been baked and is porous so should be soaked in water until the bubbles stop surfacing. King is one of the top choices for sharpening stones among chefs in Japan. Material: Synthetic stone Dimensions: 8" x 2 1/2" x 1 1/2" This listing is for one piece sharping stone only. Review: if youre looking online for your first stone, this is the one they recommended me - I didn't know anything about whetstones but have wanted to sharpen my knives for a long time now. After a bit of reading online, this was the most recommended product. The size is as any other, the material seems to be working as described (sharpening ability?). Watch a few videos and experiment with sharpening your knives. There is nothing difficult besides applying the practice until you get it right. This product at this price was the best I could find. The stone with a wet rag underneath is all you need to be on your way to knife sharpening mastery. Review: Great stone!! - The King KDS is a staple in the sharpening community, often recommended as a classic "first real stone" for home cooks and hobbyists alike. Performance: The "Muddy" Workhorse 1000 Grit Side (Sharpening): This side is a "soaking stone" that produces a significant amount of gray slurry (mud). This slurry is actually beneficial, as it helps prevent the stone from clogging and aids in a smooth sharpening feel. It is effective for restoring dull edges and creating a solid, "toothy" edge suitable for most kitchen tasks. 6000 Grit Side (Polishing): This side is much smoother and is designed for refining and polishing the edge to a mirror-like finish. Many users find it performs best as a "splash-and-go" surface rather than a full soaker. Key Characteristics Feedback & Feel: Known for providing excellent "tactile feedback," making it easier for beginners to feel if they are holding the correct angle. Softness & Dishing: Because it is a softer stone, it wears down (dishes) relatively quickly. You will eventually need a flattening tool (like a diamond plate) to keep the surface level. Size: The KDS model is larger than the KW-65 economy version, providing more surface area for easier strokes on longer knives. ## Features - Made in Japan - Both 1000 and 6000 grit so one stone can handle most sharpening jobs - This large size stone has more surface area making it faster and easier to use - 1000 grit side will quickly sharpen knives and tools - 6000 grit side will hone and finish the edge of your blade ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01BB1ZDVW | | Best Sellers Rank | #74,212 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #103 in Sharpening Stones | | Brand | KING | | Brand Name | KING | | Color | Brown | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 685 Reviews | | Grit Type | Medium Grit,Fine Grit,Coarse | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 8"L x 1"W x 2"H | | Item Weight | 2 pounds | | Manufacturer Part Number | Kin-9729 | | Material | Stone | | Material Type | Stone | | Model Number | KDS | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 8"L x 1"W x 2"H | | UPC | 728044880128 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** KING - **Color:** Brown - **Grit Type:** Medium Grit,Fine Grit,Coarse - **Item Weight:** 2 Pounds - **Material:** Stone - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Product Dimensions:** 8"L x 1"W x 2"H - **UPC:** 728044880128 ## Images ![King KDS Whetstone 1000/6000 Grit, Double-Sided (Stone Only) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51fIp8Kw4OL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this come with a base or is it just the stone?** A: Just the stone. It does not come with a base. I have not had any problems placing it on a towel to sharpen. **Q: How is the kds different from the kw65** A: When I did my search,it was said that the KDS is better for use with the harder steels . I find the KDS about perfect for all my knives and I have way more expensive Japanese water stones. It's cost is just a wee bit more then the kw65 so why take the chance on the kw65? One of the things I like about the KDS is the amount of good feed back you get from the stone while sharpening. The KDS and a lower grit stone of maybe 400 or 500 grit is all you will ever need. **Q: Does this stone work just as well for softer steels also?** A: I think so. Years ago I bought a $20 Farberware chefs knife at a grocery store, just to tide me over while my Wusthof was out at sharpeners for a week. Today I was trying to sharpen that Farberware. I got it decently sharp at 20^ . I could however literally β€œfeel” the burr breaking off when I turned the knife over on the stone. This knife with 420 steel just won’t ever get as sharp as my Wusthof which I believe is made from a 4112 Tyson Krupp steel. I was able to get the Wusthof razor sharp at 15^ with nothing breaking off. Even the German steel is considered β€œsoft” compared to some of the Japanese Super Steels I’m learning about. I now want to replace my cheap chefs knife with a blade made from VG10 or SG2 steel, which would take a 10^ to 12^ angle. Will this stone sharpen a softer steel? Yes. Will you be able to get a softer steel as sharp as a harder steel,... your mileage may vary, but this will be dependent on your technique and the steel of your blade, not very dependent on which stone you use, so long as the stone is flat, maintained properly, etc. **Q: Will this work well with m390 steel?** A: I use zdp 189 steel and it works for it for m390 i hawe no exsperience ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ if youre looking online for your first stone, this is the one they recommended me *by R***N on April 27, 2026* I didn't know anything about whetstones but have wanted to sharpen my knives for a long time now.

I use it for my kitchen knives, in the home. Unless you're a pro and sharpening knives almost daily, this is all you need for your good knives, and it will last a long time. I'm using it on knives that have a hardness in the Rc 55-62 range. It develops a burr pretty quickly on hard steel. Unless your knives have been abused and need complete reconditioning, the 1000 grit side will bring your dull knives to an apex and create a burr fairly quickly. My standard of sharpness is pretty high, so I use the 6000 grit most of the time. It's rare that my knives get so dull as to require the 1000 grit side. This stone, and a leather strop block, will be pretty much all the sharpening equipment you will ever need. One negative about this stone is that the instructions are not in English. The instructions are the blue card in the first photograph, and I believe that they are in Japanese only. Requires minimal soaking for the 1000 grit side. The 6000 grit side is splash and go. After trying some cheaper stones, I'm glad I found and purchased this one. There is a less-expensive 1000/6000 King stone available. Spend the extra few bucks and get this one. ## Frequently Bought Together - King KDS Whetstone 1000/6000 Grit, Double-Sided (Stone Only) - POWERTEC 71013 Sharpening Stone Holder, Adjustable 5-1/2-Inch to 9-Inch Whetstone Knife Sharpener Holder with Non-Slip Base - SHARPAL 196N ANGLE PYRAMID Whetstone Knife Blade Sharpener Sharpening Stone Angle Guide 2-Pack, 4 Universal Angles-14Β°, 17Β°, 20Β°, 25Β° --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/23648695-king-kds-whetstone-1000-6000-grit-double-sided-stone-only](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/23648695-king-kds-whetstone-1000-6000-grit-double-sided-stone-only) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-09-04*
