Does it matter which way you sharpen a knife?

If it's a handheld micro-sharpener, then (while holding the blade at the sharpener designated angle) out and up, minding your fingers and wrist.

Do you use water or oil on a whetstone?

Despite the sound of the name, the term “whet” means “to sharpen,” and no oil or water is necessary to use with this stone. Whetstones, like other sharpening stones, usually feature two sides with separate grit: one coarse, and the other fine.

Is 1000 grit enough for sharpening?

What grit wet stone for straight razor?

To take a completely blunt razor from dull to sharp you would begin on a low numbered honing stone and work up. For a straight razor, we would recommend a #4000 and #8000 grit honing stone to bring a normal razor back up shave ready. An extremely blunt razor may need a coarser stone, to begin with.
