PARKSIDE’s 2 in 1 sharpening stone is a budget-friendly way into basic edge maintenance, sitting alongside the brand’s other DIY workshop tools and competing with entry-level stones from the likes of Smith’s or generic Amazon sets. It’s aimed at routine touch-ups for kitchen knives, garden blades and scissors, rather than specialist sharpening for high-end Japanese steels.
Who is this for?
If your blades feel dull but not damaged, the two grit faces let you work in stages. The 400 grit side is the coarser option for bringing back an edge when it has started to slip, then the 800 grit side refines it for a cleaner cut. A non-slip silicone insert and holder help keep the stone steady, which matters more than speed when you are learning consistent angles.
- 400 and 800 grit faces for sharpening then smoothing
- Non-slip insert and case to reduce movement on the worktop
- 19 x 9.4 x 4cm size, stable enough for longer blades
