This is where most honing starts. If your blade pulls but still cuts, this range is about as rough as you should need to go. It grinds steel well, but is far less aggressive than a rougher stone such as 1,000. As a result, the stone does the job without grinding excess steel and shortening the life of your blade.
Knifewear stones are hard, so they last a long time and work quickly.
Always flatten your stone with a truing stone after honing.

Reviews
Great addition to my sharpening journey
"Good value and a great product from a company with exceptional service."
Sharp knives for Christmas
"I am pleased that I will have sharp knives when I help cook at my family’s homes"
Good quality W
"I was surprised how sharp my knifes got just a 4000 and the price is fairly good. Definitely recommend to anyone"
Great all around stone
"Excellent product and once again, amazing customer service from the Vancouver Team. Shout out to Liam for his expertise and advice."
Brilliant stone
"And was a great value. My only other reference is a 4000 Grit waterstone from Lee Valley that I've used for years. This one seems a tick harder. Certainly raises a burr and polishes quickly."
4000
"Finishes my knives great with a smooth edge that's super sharp. The stone is very easy to work!"
Nice finishing stone
"Bought this as part of the Knifewear essential sharpening set, along with the 220 and 1000 stones. I am new to knife sharpening, but you can feel the quality of this finishing stone. My french knives have never been sharper, and I find it easy to maintain the edge of my japanese petty with it."
Good but it's cracking.
"Love the feel of using this stone. It's hard but soft if that makes sense. I don't like that it's now started to have a spiderweb of fine cracks all over both sides after just a few months. Not sure if it's something I've done wrong. I use it splash and go and wipe it dry before putting it on a wooden rack. Not sure how much longer it has."

Q&A
- How does this stone compare to the Naniwa T-940 4000 grit Traditional Stone?
- Hey John, our stores are just rebrands of the Naniwa stones, T-940 is a newer stone, as we have tested a lot, but I imagine the two stones are similar. Sorry we don't have better information on this one - Ellie
- Is this stone a suitable step up from a Naniwa 1000/3000 combination stone that I have? I have VG-10, Aogami 2, SRS15, and SG2 knives. Should I look at this 4000 stone or go to 8000 from my 3000 stone? Thanks!
- 100% you can use this as a next step to refine the edges for your current set, however I can also suggest that if you want a little more difference you should upgrade to the Naniwa Chosera Profesisonal Series #5000 https://knifewear.com/products/naniwa-professional-stone-5000-210x70x20?variant=5875700932 if you'd like a little more difference between your 3000 stone
- I bought a knifewear 4000 grit sharpening whetstone. On the box is written “do not soak”. On your site description of this particular stone you call it a “water stone”. I am a little confused......How do I use this stone?
- Hey there, sorry for the confusion there! You can just splash it with water and it'll be good to go. Some stones require to be put into water for 15-20 minutes before use, this one you can just splash and go! - Ellie
- Are these knifewear stones similar to the naiwia stones?
- Hey there, these stones are made by Naniwa, and include stones that aren't usually available outside of Japan! Let me know if you have any other questions!
