How do I use the Professional sharpening set from #250 to #12000?
Jacob Bech’s full sequence with the Professional set runs from #250 to #12000, then the leather strop. RICEKNIFE’s #3000 stone can also be the final stage for a sharp working edge.
Jacob Bech’s full sequence
- #250 plated diamond. Shape the edge on the #250 side of RICEKNIFE’s plated diamond stone with light to moderate pressure, until a small burr forms along the entire edge.
- #1000 resin-bonded. Sharpen the edge evenly on RICEKNIFE’s #1000 stone with light to moderate pressure.
- #3000 resin-bonded. Refine the edge on RICEKNIFE’s #3000 stone with light pressure, then very light strokes.
- #6000 resin-bonded. Refine the already sharp edge on RICEKNIFE’s #6000 stone with light pressure.
- #12000 resin-bonded. Give the already sharp edge its final refinement on RICEKNIFE’s #12000 stone with very light pressure.
- Leather strop. Finish on RICEKNIFE’s leather strop with 1.5 micron diamond stropping compound, using edge-trailing strokes only.
Is the Professional sharpening set cheaper than buying the stones separately?

Do I need the 6000 and 12000 grit stones?
No, a sharp working edge does not need the 6000 and 12000 grit stones. According to Jacob Bech, #3000 can be the final stage, and RICEKNIFE’s #6000 and #12000 stones refine an already sharp edge.
Do the stones in the Professional set need soaking?

Can the Professional sharpening set sharpen HAP40 and ZDP189?
Yes, every stone in RICEKNIFE’s Professional sharpening set is a diamond stone, and diamond is harder than steel. RICEKNIFE’s diamond stones sharpen everything from carbon steels without chromium carbides to HAP40 and ZDP189.
What is the stone holder in the Professional set made of?

I already own a holder and a strop. Do I need the Professional set?
