The manufacturer
King Whetstones is an artificial whetstone manufacturer founded in 1940 in Tokoname City in Aichi Prefecture, a city renowned for its ceramics.
In 2024, the company launched its in-house brand, "10Good." Guided by the motto "sharpening brings good things," (a play on their brand name) King Whetstones designs, manufactures, and sells specialized whetstones for household kitchen knives as well as tools designed to optimize the sharpening process.
Design Features of The 10Good Sharpening Set
Whetstones Designed for Easy Use, Even for Beginners
Whetstones in the 10Good series have a softer touch, as their hardness is adjusted to make them ideal for kitchen knives.
While traditional whetstones were sized for woodworking planes (called kanna in Japanese) and tended to be somewhat narrow, this series is designed with a wider surface to make sharpening kitchen knives much easier.
Demystify the Sharpening Process
1. Understand the correct position
The instruction manual has guidance to help you check the angle at which you hold your knife against the whetstone.
2. Maintain the angle
Use the included template to draw guidelines on the stone and you'll be able to consistently sharpen your knife at the same angle.
3. Know the sharpening direction
Pay attention to the guides and the dot-grid pattern printed on the whetstone. With these, you can check your knife's angle and direction as your sharpen.
Enjoy Knife Sharpening Right out of the Box
The sharpening set comes complete with not only the whetstone, but also a stabilizing base and tools to maintain both your knives and the stone. You have everything you need to start sharpening as soon as it arrives.
Furthermore, having a dedicated sharpening box and stand means you can enjoy sharpening wherever you like, not just at the kitchen sink.
Make Sharpening a Habit
Sharpening your knives becomes effortless when your tools are ready to grab at a moment's notice.
With its compact size, this sharpening set is easy to keep within arm's reach, and its simple design blends seamlessly into any kitchen.
A Stabilizing Base for Steady Sharpening
One of the secrets to mastering knife sharpening is stability. Custom-designed to fit the box, this wooden base with the soothing aroma of hinoki (Japanese cypress) provides exceptional stability while you sharpen. Even beginners can sharpen with confidence and peace of mind.
Accessories to Keep Your Tools in Top Condition
The sharpening set includes a rust remover and an abrasive paper for stone flattening.
The rust remover prepares rusted knives for smooth sharpening.
An abrasive paper for stone flattening is used to flatten whetstones that have worn down from sharpening. Doing this keeps the whetstone in good condition after you finish sharpening.
Accessories like this help keep your tools in an optimal condition for sharpening.

Precautions
- Do not soak the whetstone in water for a long time.
- Do not use hot water or detergent on the stone.
- Do not leave it outdoors, in direct sunlight, or in freezing environments.
- Whetstones are fragile, so avoid dropping or hitting them.
- After use, let it dry in a well-ventilated area before storing it.
- Due to uneven mixing of the binder and abrasive materials or uneven distribution of additives during the manufacturing process, slight discoloration or color unevenness may occasionally appear in some areas.
Before Sharpening
- Using the template included in the whetstone packaging, draw diagonal lines on the whetstone with a marker or pen.
- These serve as guides for your knife's angle.
- Fill the sharpening box with water and soak the whetstone for about 30 minutes or until it no longer releases bubbles.
Then set up the sharpening stand and the whetstone, and please place the whetstone closer to the front for stability.
Care Instructions
- Before drying and storing, use the inclosed abrasive paper to flatten your stone. This allows it to keep a consistent shape and make full contact with your knife's edge.
- A knife's sharpness can fade in about a month if you use it frequently. We recommend sharpening your knives once every two months, depending on the steel type and frequency of use.
Regarding Product Quality
-
Due to uneven mixing of the binder and abrasives or uneven distribution of additives during production, minor discoloration or color variations may occasionally occur in some areas. -
Parts of the whetstone (such as the edges) may appear blackish, or there may be minor scuff marks depending on the location. -
Please understand that these are normal occurrences during the manufacturing process and do not indicate a product defect.
