When was the last time you sharpened your knives? It's probably been too long—let's change that.
The Sharp Pebble is a whetstone, which is a texture block for DIY sharpening. Most professional chefs say whetstones are the only way they sharpen their knives. Unlike electric and manual sharpeners, which have fixed blades to sharpen edges to a precise angle, whetstones allow a higher degree of freedom so you can hone blades to any angle with greater control.
One downside of using a whetstone, though, is that you have to practice a bit to know what you’re doing. When I asked Rivera why he thought more home cooks didn’t use whetstones, he summed it up in one word: “patience.” The stone has to be soaked for roughly ten minutes before use and periodically re-wet during the sharpening process. It also takes anywhere from five to ten minutes per side, and even longer when you’re first getting the hang of it.
If you do choose to try out a whetstone, however, you’ll be rewarded with a super-sharp blade and the pride of knowing you executed it just like a professional chef. Whetstones are also more versatile than most other sharpeners. In addition to knives, you can sharpen scissors, gardening tools, and bigger blades like axes .
The Sharp Pebble is one of Amazon’s best-rated whetstones, with more than 500 five-star reviews. It’s made from highly durable silicon carbide and designed with a 400-grit side for the extensive grinding and the 1000-grit side to smooth and polish the edge. It also comes with a slip-resistant rubber base to hold the stone while sharpening, as well as flattening stone to reshape and level the sharpener.
I tried out the Sharp Pebble, and while it certainly wasn’t as easy an experience as some of the other sharpeners I tested, it was actually the most fun to use. I watched a few DIY knife sharpening videos online while I soaked my stone, then ran the blade of my knife up and down along the coarser stone for a few minutes, moving it around to concentrate on different areas. I then switched to the smoother stone to polish it.
