Sharpening Tools

Whetstone

Michel BRAS Whetstone designed to maintain the exceptional sharpness of knives
This set includes two whetstones with different grits (#1000 and #3000) to achieve the ideal sharpness. After sharpening with the #1000 grit surface, finishing with the finer #3000 grit surface maintains a sharp, precise edge.
Magnesia whetstones shed abrasive particles easily during use, promoting self-sharpening and consistently producing a keen edge. They are gentle on blades, allowing for delicate sharpening of Michel BRAS knives with their three-layer construction, helping you prepare mentally for cooking.
Harder than standard whetstones, they wear down slowly and are suitable for a wide range of knives.
Their low water absorption means you can start using them simply by wetting them, eliminating the hassle of pre-soaking.
While this stone is resistant to clogging, should it become clogged, the included dressing stone can be used to maintain its sharpening performance.

Size: 210mm (height) × 70mm (width) × 30mm (depth)

A honing steel to maintain the knife's high performance

The first basic requirement from Michel and Sébastien was "to sharpen thoroughly with long strokes.” And this is how the 30 cm sharpening rod was born. This honing steel is made with the same spirit, consistent design, and same process as the rest of the Michel BRAS line up.

For the Bras, sharpening the blade is essential in order to maintain tools in the best condition, and for mindful cooking as well. Proper maintenance allows to cook without spoiling the ingredients, and without slowing down the process.
