Japanese water stones – both natural and synthetic – are known for their superior sharpening performance, not only for Japanese tools, but also on their Western equivalents. The loosely bonded abrasive grit is washed out very quickly, as it blunts during the sharpening process; this exposes new, sharp, particles that can get to work on the blade. Water stones are lubricated only with water!

High Quality corundum for excellent sharpening results. Soak the stone for five minutes in water and then you are set to go. Equipped with two non-slip silicone bases. Fast and extremely effictive grinding results.

Great Entry Level Whetstone

26 April 2019
I am very impressed with this product. The stone whilst smaller than other whetstones, is a perfect size for most pocket knives and can be used on larger fixed blades—I resharpened my Ka-Bar 1211 with this stone and it's shaving sharp again. The stone works very fast, but, does become clogged with material quicker (usually after about five minutes or so) and should be cleaned thoroughly and frequently. Overall, I think this is a great product and if you're new to whetstones this is a great entry level stone for the quality and price especially if coupled with a 400 grit stone and you're set. Great product and great website
