It forms an excellent grinding sludge and is used without oil, only with water. This makes it a great alternative to synthetic aluminum oxide whetstones!●Fine final sanding like a professional: grain approx. 6000 – for extremely smooth, sharp edges ● Tradition meets nature: Genuine Vietnamese mudstone, completely free of artificial additives ● No oil, just water: Sustainable sharpening without necessary additives ● Perfect for carbon steel knives: Get the most out of your hand-forged blades ● Pleasant grinding experience: Fine grinding mud for clean, controlled work If you want to stay sharp, you have to resharpen. Carbon steel knives in particular require some attention to keep their sharpness permanently. But don't worry: With the AUTHENTIC BLADES DA XAM you get exactly the right whetstone to regularly give your cutting tools a new edge – without any high-tech or chemicals. What exactly is the DA XAM whetstone? The DA XAM is a traditional Vietnamese mudstone, a natural whetstone that does not contain any synthetic additives. With a grain size of about 6000, it is one of the finest representatives of its kind. This makes it perfect for the finishing touches, the moment when “sharp” really becomes “razor-sharp”. Why fine grit is important when sharpening knives The finer the grit, the smoother the edge. Coarse stones remove material quickly but often leave a rough, irregular surface. The DA XAM, on the other hand, literally polishes the cutting edge and ensures even, long-lasting sharpness – ideal for precise cuts and delicate ingredients. So if you want to cut not just sharply, but really sharply, you can't avoid a final grind with fine grain. Pure knife sharpening: Just water, no oil The DA XAM is used exclusively with water – no oils, no pastes, no chemicals. This makes it not only uncomplicated, but also an environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic aluminum oxide bricks. When grinding, it forms a wonderfully fine grinding sludge that evenly coats the blade and makes the result even finer. Tips for the perfect grind ● Maintain the right angle: Depending on the knife, a grinding angle of between 15 and 20 degrees is recommended. ●Smooth movement: Work in flowing, smooth strokes, do not push! ●Water before grinding: Water the stone well before use until no more bubbles appear. ●Patience pays off: invest more time and grind evenly – the blade will thank you.
