The King G‑1 #8000 is a finishing whetstone designed for polishing and refining the edge of your knives. It produces a smooth, clean finish that enhances cutting performance while maintaining a natural feel on the board. This grit level is typically used after medium stones such as King 1000, Shapton 1000, or Shapton 1500 to complete a simple and effective sharpening progression.
The stone comes with a plastic base for stability during use, along with a nagura. The nagura can be used to create additional slurry or to clean the surface of the stone, helping maintain consistent performance over time. This makes the G‑1 a practical choice for users who want a reliable finishing stone without complicated maintenance.
Dimensions: 210 × 73 × 22mm | Weight: 900g
King whetstones are made by Matsunaga Stone Co., Ltd., founded in 1948 in Osaka, Japan. They are one of the best‑known manufacturers of Japanese sharpening stones and are trusted by both professionals and home cooks.

Why is the blade length different from the displayed size? The size in the product title is a nominal reference used by knife makers. The actual blade can be slightly longer or shorter due to handcrafting and traditional sizing. Each product page lists the exact measured length.
