Whetstone Wars Battle 1K - Hyper King vs. Morihei

Another battle in our Whetstone Wars series! Two great names go to war. Who will be the champion?

King Hyper Whetstone #1000 (Standard Hardness)
$59.99
The King Deluxe 1000 has always been the standard for users wanting a great quality, budget friendly 1000 grit whetstone. It has excellent feedback and offers what most consider a true 1000 grit finish. Knife owners with knives no higher than 61 Rockwell would be well-served by the Deluxe 1000. But what about those of us with knives higher than 61 Rockwell?

In comes the King Hyper 1000 - the new and improved version of the Deluxe 1000. The cutting speed has been increased, while retaining the feedback that the Deluxe 1000 has always been known for. The new compound is also harder, and slower wearing. The Hyper 1000 takes the all-around performance qualities of the Deluxe 1000, but can now tackle knives with Rockwell ratings well over 61 (tested up to 66).

Morihei Hi Whetstone #1000
$78.00

As a whole line and on their own they all perform exceptionally well with that natural stone feel Ogura San likes. They don’t require soaking and all have the right balance of being hard enough yet give nice feedback that some medium hard natural stones have made them easy to use and enjoy.

For polishing the 4000, 6000 and 12000 grit give very strong contrast of hard and soft steel, with the hard steel becoming bright with the soft steel looking thick and hazy.
