Nothing beats a sharp knife when cooking or even just preparing a simple snack just right. But, over time, even the sharpest knife dulls and loses its precision. This is where sharpening stones come in. Nothing can beat the sharpening kit with 240-grit and 800-grit sharpening stones. If you’re tired of using dull knives or are just starting your journey of sharpening knives, this kit is perfect for you.

Why Two Types of Grit?
The grit of sharpening stones indicates the level of coarseness or fineness of the stone’s surface. The lower the grit size, the coarser the stone, and the higher the grit size, the finer the stone. These sharpening stones come in multiple sizes, but we’re focusing on 240 and 800 grits. 

When You Need a 240-Grit Sharpening Stone
240-grit sharpening stones are great for reshaping the blade or sharpening a dull knife. When using this stone, you’ll notice that the stone’s surface is relatively rough. The coarser surface provides an optimal level of abrasion to establish a sharp edge.

When You Need a 800-Grit Sharpening Stone
After using the 240-grit sharpening stone, it’s time to move on to the 800-grit sharpening stone. This stone has a finer surface, making it ideal for honing the knife’s edge to attain a sharpness that’s preferable in any kitchen. The 800-grit sharpening stone will remove the burrs formed by the rougher stone and lead to a finer edge.

What Polishing Compound Can Do to Your Blades
Did you know that using a polishing compound after sharpening can take your knives to the next level? The compound helps to refine the blade and remove any microscopic burrs that may be left behind after sharpening. This results in a razor-sharp edge that glides effortlessly through food, making your prep work a breeze. 

Once you try using a polishing compound, you’ll never want to go back to just sharpening alone.

What Can You Sharpen with This Sharpening Stone Kit?
240-grit and 800-grit sharpening stones can be used to sharpen, grind, and polish the following tools:

• Kitchen knives
• Bushcraft knives
• Camping knives
• Outdoor knives
• Scissors
• Various hand tools

Tips for Using BPS Knives Sharpening Stones

• To ensure that the knife retains a sharp edge, we recommend honing it often after use. Sharpening it daily is only necessary if you’re using it extensively regularly. 
• Regular honing with the 800 grit sharpening stone will often be sufficient to maintain its sharpness. However, if it does get dull, use the 240-grit sharpening stone first before moving on to the 800-grit one. 
• Remember to clean the stones after every use to keep them in excellent shape for future sharpening.

Sharpening your knives with 240-grit and 800-grit sharpening stones by BPS Knives is a simple way to ensure you have sharp, precise knives. Following the steps outlined above will relieve you of the struggle of trying to cut with a dull knife. 

The key to maintaining this sharpness is to hone the knife after using it regularly, and utilizing a sharpening kit with 240-grit and 800-grit stones is the most practical way to do it. With practice, you’ll soon be sharpening your knives like a professional.
