The grinding technique

Comparison of techniques

Wet or dry sanding?

Do you find it difficult to choose the right sharpening method?


On the one hand cheap, on the other hand...?


dry grinding....


The cheaper and coarser dry grinding requires significantly less grinding and time than wet grinding.



However, the sharpness of the cutting edge must be treated more often during dry grinding and the material of the knife shrinks significantly faster.

Our years of experience help,

to avoid such errors during dry grinding.


We treat the material gently without overheating it during grinding.


But despite all this, we always recommend the…..

....wet grinding


The wet grinding step is more time-consuming,

but stands out due to some advantages.


At lower torque (96 rpm) of a grinding stone,

which constantly moves through a water bath,

The steel to be ground is permanently cooled.


Your tool is much more durable .


You should consider this when cost analysis take into account.



Microscopic examples

household grinders

Some cheap grinding machines only roughen the blade and initially give it a sharp edge,

which disappears after a short time.


What it looks like under the microscope:


Our water grinding technology


With a whetstone with a grain of 220 grit

you get the best...


With the 4,000er Japanese whetstone

the blade edge surface becomes mirror-smooth.
