The new Shun diamond sharpening stones are an exceptionally high-quality addition to professional knife care. Developed for blades with particularly high hardness, such as knives from the Shun series, these sharpening stones combine state-of-the-art material technology with Japanese manufacturing precision and durability. The result: maximum sharpening performance, consistent results, and efficient sharpening.

These sharpening stones use ultra-hard diamond as the abrasive material and offer outstanding grinding power. Even highly hardened blades are sharpened significantly faster than with conventional whetstones. The sharpening stones do not need to be soaked in water before use. Simply moistening them before and during the sharpening process is sufficient, allowing you to begin sharpening immediately.

Thanks to the elaborately sintered diamond grit, the low-maintenance surface remains flat even after repeated use, showing only minimal signs of wear. In this way, Shun diamond sharpening stones provide many years of consistently excellent performance and reliable sharpening results.

Each stone is supplied with a silicon carbide dressing stone for cleaning and refinishing the sharpening surface. This allows residues to be removed quickly and easily whenever necessary.

Place the sharpening stone on a dedicated holder or on a damp cloth to prevent slipping. The stone does not need to be soaked beforehand; however, it should be kept moist while sharpening. Sharpen the blades on the colored side of the stone.

The instructions apply to both double-bevel and single-bevel blades: Hold the knife as shown in Figure 1, keeping a consistent angle to the stone. As shown in Figure 2, position the knife so the angle between the blade edge and the stone is 45–60 degrees.



For double-bevel blades: As shown in Figure 3, the distance between stone and spine should create an angle of approx. 15 degrees. Sharpen the knife by moving it along the full length of the stone back and forth with just enough pressure for your hand to rest lightly without pressing too hard. Once burrs appear on the opposite side of the edge (Figure 4), sharpen the other side the same way until burrs appear there as well.

For single-bevel blades: Sharpen the cutting edge on the front, convex side by placing the knife on the stone as shown in Figure 5. Then turn the knife over and sharpen the back by laying the entire backside flat on the stone, as in Figure 6. Then return to the convex side and place only the cutting edge on the stone. The edge angle to the stone should now be approx. 30–45 degrees to create a two‑stage bevel, which increases resistance to chipping.

For both double-bevel and single-bevel blades: Once burrs have formed across the entire cutting edge, spread an old newspaper or cloth on a flat surface and wipe both sides of the blade across it to remove the burrs. Alternatively, use a strop. If the surface of the sharpening stone has become uneven or clogged, or if sharpening performance declines, treat the stone surface with the included flattening stone. Wet both stones adequately.
Handling precautions
  • Use the sharpening stone only on stable surfaces and in a safe environment.
  • Markings on the stone surface will wear off during sharpening, but this does not affect quality.
  • The logo on the back may wear off from friction, but this is also harmless.
  • Do not resurface the stone with a leveling stone. If the stone becomes clogged and sharpening becomes difficult, use the included dressing stone.
  • This product is colored so the sharpening surface is easy to identify. Abrasive residue may transfer to objects or clothing and cause stains.


Care instructions
  • Rinse the stone with water after use to remove debris. Dry with a clean cloth and allow to dry thoroughly to prevent mold. Store away from direct sunlight.
  • Remove all dirt and moisture from knives before storing, as residue can cause rust.
  • The base (uncolored part) contains natural minerals that may cause uneven coloration. This does not affect quality.
Caution Safety note:
Only allow sharpening and grinding of cutting tools to be carried out by trained persons or under the supervision of such persons.
Always use whetstones in accordance with the enclosed instructions for use and water them. Always work away from the body when sharpening.
Only check the sharpness of the knife with the paper test and never with your hand or other parts of your body. Place the whetstones on a firm surface and ensure there is sufficient working space.

Our Junior
Kitchen knife

Tim Mälzer and KAI have jointly developed the special Junior chef's knife to make it easier for young chefs from the age of 6 to use knives safely when cooking together. The fine serrated edge of the stainless steel blade in combination with a rounded, blunt blade tip and a flexible finger guard support the safe use of the knife.

The Junior chef's knife also comes with its own knife pouch for safe storage and transport.
