🔧 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
❓ What is Whetgrip®?
Whetgrip® is a British-made sharpening stone cradle. It grips both your whetstone and the surface it's on, giving you a solid, non-slip platform for sharpening blades.
❓ Who is Whetgrip® for?
It was made for slaughtermen—where speed and a sharp edge aren’t optional. But it’s trusted by butchers, chefs, hunters, fishermen, and anyone who sharpens blades regularly.
❓ What size stones does it fit?
Whetgrip® currently fits sharpening stones up to 210mm x 55mm.
❓ Is it food-safe?
Yes. Whetgrip® is made from FDA-certified, food-safe silicone, making it suitable for use in food prep environments, butchery blocks, and commercial kitchens.
❓ Can it be sterilised?
Absolutely. Whetgrip® withstands temperatures from -60°C to +230°C, so it can be dipped in sterilisers or cleaned down without losing its shape or function.
❓ Will it grip all surfaces?
It works on wood, stainless, granite, stone, and even some textured benches. We’ve even stuck it to a wall to prove a point.
❓ Does it come with a sharpening stone?
No. Whetgrip® is the cradle only—you supply the stone. It’s designed to work with most standard-sized stones.
❓ How do I clean it?
Wash it under hot water, sterilise it, or scrub it down with standard food-safe cleaning products. The silicone won’t degrade.
