Whetgrip - RWB | Professional Sharpening Stone Cradle (Food-Safe Silicone)
Train Right from the Start
Sharpening a knife properly is a skill—and like any skill, it needs the right foundation. Whetgrip gives trainees a stable, consistent base to work from, removing the frustration and risk of a slipping stone. With the stone held firmly in place, new starters can focus on angle, pressure, and technique—building safe, effective habits from day one.
Sharpen Without the Risk
A loose stone is a hazard. Sharpening with one hand holding the whetstone or resting it on rags puts hands and fingers at risk. Whetgrip locks the stone and surface together, giving you a steady platform to work from—so your blade is always under control, and your hands stay out of danger.
Protect Your Stones. Save Your Budget.
Sharpening stones aren’t cheap and for a decent one will set you back upwards of £30 — and when they hit the floor, they often don’t survive. Whetgrip® prevents stones from sliding off benches or being knocked over, cutting down on breakages and replacements. Over time, that’s serious savings—especially in high-traffic environments.
