🔪 Is Whetgrip Right for You?

🔪 Is Whetgrip Right for You?

At Whetgrip, we don’t make dozens of tools. We make one — and we make it properly. But that’s not just a brag. It’s because we know our product isn’t for everyone.

Whetgrip is a sharpening stone cradle built for real kitchens, busy butchers, mobile sharpeners, and anyone who takes blade maintenance seriously. So before you buy or request a trade trial, ask yourself:

👨🍳 Do you use a sharpening stone regularly?

If you’ve moved past pull-through gadgets and started using proper whetstones, you already know: keeping them steady is half the battle.

Whetgrip grips both your stone and the surface beneath — no clamps, no slippage, no cracked stones on tiled counters.

🧼 Do you work in a food-safe environment?

Whetgrip is made from FDA-certified, food-safe silicone. It can go through a steriliser, won’t absorb fluids, and rinses off in seconds.

That makes it ideal for:

  • Commercial kitchens

  • Butcher shops

  • Mobile sharpening setups

  • High-volume prep areas

🧰 Do you hate gear that breaks, warps or ‘just about works’?

We get it. Rubber mats curl. Clamps wear out. Wooden cradles go mouldy. Whetgrip doesn’t warp, crack or need replacing every few months. It’s solid, grippy, and built to take a beating.

🙅♂️ Who isn’t it for?

  • If you use ceramic or diamond pull-through sharpeners, Whetgrip probably isn’t needed.

  • If you don’t sharpen your own knives or don’t care much for blade care, it might be overkill.

  • If you just want a cheap fix off Amazon — this isn’t it.

🧲 Still interested?

We don’t sell Whetgrip in shops or online marketplaces. It’s trade-only. That means:

  • No gimmicky reviews.

  • No cheap copies.

  • Just the real thing, in the right hands.
