VKS DIAMOND 400 Grit Whetstone

My chef's knife had a nasty chip and this diamond stone took it out in maybe five minutes flat, no soaking or flattening like my old water stone. The 400 grit cuts aggressive but leaves a decent enough edge to move to a finer stone after.

I’d been dreading fixing a chipped knife edge all week, but the 400 grit diamond surface ripped through that dull spot in minutes. Honestly, the fact that it never needs flattening is a game-changer for me.

I’ve barely had to flatten this thing since I got it, which was my biggest pet peeve with my old stones. The synthetic diamond surface chews through a dull knife edge in minutes, and it stays perfectly flat without any soaking prep.
