Professional Whetstone Knife & Tool Sharpening Stone (71916)
The Definitive Two-Stage Solution for Surgical Sharpness
The POWERTEC 71916 is a professional-grade Dual-Sided Whetstone, specifically precision-engineered to restore dull blades and refine them to a mirror-polished finish. This high-performance sharpening stone is the definitive choice for woodworkers and culinary enthusiasts who require absolute edge-to-edge sharpness for chisels, plane irons, and high-carbon steel knives. Featuring a coarse 1000-grit side for setting the primary bevel and a super-fine 6000-grit side for final honing, the 71916 provides the abrasive range required to move from "dull" to "razor-sharp" on a single platform.
Constructed from premium-quality Aluminum Oxide, this waterstone requires only a 10-15 minute soak—eliminating the mess and ongoing cost of expensive honing oils. The included silicone non-slip rubber base ensures axial stability on your workbench, desk, or table, preventing the stone from sliding during the high-pressure strokes required for effective metal removal. Whether you are restoring an antique woodworking chisel or maintaining a Japanese-style chef’s knife, this sharpening system delivers the mechanical precision and surface refinement required for showroom-quality results.
