The Belgian Whetstone is a natural sharpening stone like no other. Even the ancient Romans knew and appreciated its unique quality and razor-sharp results.
To this day, the Belgian Brocken is considered the finest whetstone in the world. It has been mined exclusively in a small region in the Ardennes since 1625. The deposits there are around 480 million years old and are unique.
The Belgian chunk consists of volcanic ash, dense slate and lots of the finest garnets. The combination of these materials ensures the highest quality and precision when sharpening.
Garnets are among the hardest stones in the world and are particularly faceted. Thanks to their special surface, there is no burr on the cutting edge when sharpening, but rather a fine polish. This gives knives and tools a precise sharpness that you can enjoy for a long time.
The Belgian chunk is easy to use and produces convincing results. Top chefs and toolmakers swear by this very special sharpening stone and never want to do without it again. See for yourself!
Each original Belgian chunk is handmade and certified by us as a unique piece.
Sincerely
Your Steffen J. Lindner and the Belgische Brocken team
