1000 grit is considered the usual grit for sharpening. Exercise caution, don??t be too aggressive at first. Think of this as the starting point to regain an edge when a blade needs a good sharpening.
6000 grit is used for ??finishing or refining?; it produces a ??superfine? edge.
If the knife is used to cut meat, going above 6000 grit may make the edge too thin. |
| 2000 grit is a medium grit, good for sharpening on a more regular basis as it is not as abrasive as 1000 grit.
5000 grit is used for ??finishing or refining? a blade edge.
|
| 3000 grit is a medium grit. It is good for sharpening on a very regular basis.
Use your usage as a guide to decide how often to sharpen.
??Superfine? 8000 grit is used for ??finishing or refining? a blade edge.
If you use your knife to cut only vegetables and fruit, you can safely go to 8000 grit. |
