(0 Reviews) | add rating

Japanese water whetstone with Asian boxwood whetstone holder. Grit 400 according to JIS-Japan standard. Suitable for pre-grinding (roughing) of blunt Japanese and European knives. Also for stainless steel knives an excellent grinding stone of the highest Japanese quality. The main material in this synthetic whetstone is silicon carbide and it is created with the vitrification process at about 1,280 ° C. This gives the water stone the hardest grinding power. The stone is a recommendation of one of our knife smiths for pre-grinding and can be used for all Japanese knife steels. It makes sense to supplement it with a sharpening stone with a finer grit - 800 - 1000 as a sharpening stone (Nakato) and 3000 - 6000 as a Shiage (honing stone, finishing stone). Please note the enclosed tips when using.

"Japanese knife sharpening stone KIYA, grit 400"

For the production of really good grinding stones a lot of experience is necessary. Detailed knowledge of stone types and sediments is just as much a prerequisite as craftsmanship in the processing of the stones. In order to achieve the desired high quality, the combination of suitable materials must be precisely determined. During the firing process of the grinding stone, the correct temperature and humidity are also important in order to give the grinding stone the desired hardness. Our whetstones come from reputable manufacturers in Japan who have been recommended to us by our knifemakers.
