"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.
