ChefMe! the stone for sharpening knives
ChefMe! is a set of water sharpening stones with grain 400/1000/3000/8000 to sharpen your knives with the whetstone supplied with non-slip silicone support and instructions also in Italian.
Today I want to talk about this product because more and more often I find myself sharpening knives of friends who have in their kitchens knives now cordless and that are thrown and forgotten at the bottom of the drawer.
Now this type of Premium stone can be a perfect help in the kitchen to have sharp knives and help you in the preparation of food but my advice is to do it with low and medium range knives, for professional knives it is better to turn to people experienced in sharpening with stone or with more professional tools.
Consider that stone sharpening still needs a minimum of practice and experience but as you will see you can equip yourself with guides that allow you to sharpen and maintain the correct sharpening angle .
Then it can be an opportunity to use sanding stones like the ChefMe and bring your knives back to have a super efficient thread and you get back the joy of cooking again in your kitchen!
Using sharp knives not only makes cooking more fun, but also brings more confidence to your kitchen, in fact it will take significantly less pressure when cutting!

What grain do I need?
Grain sizes 3000 and 8000 are suitable for fine sanding and polishing knives that are still intact.
With good knives, this sharpening stone achieves perfect razor sharpening, allowing the knife to slide through the vegetables without pressure!
For damaged or very sharp knives, we recommend in advance our stone to sharpen with 400/1000 grain.
Or you can directly order the complete set with all 4 grits in one package and so you have the complete set!
Are you new to the field of knife sharpening?
Then I advise you for the first attempts to put help on your knife!
For the time being, you can forget all the thoughts about the sharpening angle and focus entirely on the grinding movement.
The most common mistake in grinding is the change of angle during the grinding movement.
This creates a round blade, which unfortunately is not sharp!
It does not matter if 12 or 15 degrees, but the angle must be constant!
Please note the following: the plastic material of the same sharpening aid does not cause scratches on the knife.
However, during the sharpening process, small particles from the grinding wheel stand between the mill and the knife.
Unfortunately, this sometimes causes scratches!
Then use the stand to sharpen knives only with cheap knives.
Only when you have gained enough experience, you should try your expensive knives and then sharpen without the help of the support!
If you have any questions or suggestions, the manufacturer is available to give you suggestions, you can contact ChefMe! Team at any time!
- to learn the smoothing movement
- constant sharpening angle
- Perfect for beginners in knife grinding
- ideal complement for any sharpening stone
- WARNING: use only with cheap knives! Abrasive grains can settle between the grinding aid and the knife and cause scratches!

Is a support for the stones needed to sharpen the knives? No.
Is sharpening with the stone door more comfortable? Yes!
The set of stones already contains two silicone insoles, with which the millstones rest very stably on the kitchen worktop.
- non-slip and stable grip on the worktop
- comfortable working height, especially with flat grinding wheels
- enough space to keep the knife handle safe during grinding movement
If you sharpen your knives only once a year, the support for the stones I would say that it is not worth it but if you plan to perform sharpening regularly then this support allows you to have extra comfort in using the stone, it is also adjustable and can also be used with other stones.
The bars are made of stainless steel 304 (V2A) for the threaded bars because the sharpening of the knife that the support is in contact with water and for this reason the manufacturer has chosen this quality material.
The manufacturer writes in their manual that they hope that the support will continue to serve you well in 10 years!
