AUTHENTIC BLADES Da Xam Sharpening Stone

A sharp knife starts with the right stone. The DA XAM is a traditional Vietnamese mudstone — a natural whetstone free of synthetic additives, with a grain of approximately 6000. Its purpose is simple: to give your blade a truly razor-sharp edge.

With the DA XAM, you don’t just sharpen — you polish. The fine grain creates an even, long-lasting edge ideal for precise cuts and delicate ingredients. Used with water only — no oils, no chemicals, no complications.

Why DA XAM?

Unlike synthetic aluminum oxide stones, the DA XAM comes from Vietnam — the same place where AUTHENTIC BLADES knives are forged. It forms a wonderfully fine grinding sludge that coats the blade evenly and delivers a clean, smooth cutting edge. Natural, ecological, and highly effective — a genuine alternative to synthetic sharpening tools.

Tips for the Perfect Grind

• Maintain the right angle: 15–20 degrees depending on the knife
• Use smooth, flowing strokes — do not push
• Soak the stone well with water before use until no more bubbles appear
• Patience pays off — grind evenly for the best result
