Name: Musashi Double side Sharpening Stone
Size: 205mmx65mmx35mm
Grit: #1000/#4000
Origin: Japan

This 1000/4000 grit stone is the ideal stone for home cooks. The 1000 grit is rough enough to fix any small damage and reshape the cutting edge. While the 4000 grit is more then enough to polish the face of the edge and allow for a smooth slice threw most home cooking tasks.

Our stones are "Splash and go" stones they don't need to be soaked before use.

Japanese whetstones (also called water stones) – both natural and synthetic – are known for their quick-working qualities, not only for Japanese blades, but also for their Western equivalents. The small particles that do the cutting/sharpening are loosely bound together in the stone. During sharpening with the whetstone, the surface particles are quickly washed out, allowing new, sharp, particles to start working on the blade. These whetstones must be lubricated only with water! Never use oil or other lubricants!
