Whetstone Sharpening Stone - Medium Grit 1000 with Nagura, Made in Japan

This stone offers 3 key reasons why you should choose it. First, it provides impressive grinding power thanks to its high-purity alumina composition of 98% or more. Second, it comes bundled with a Nagura stone, an instruction manual, and a simple non-slip mat for convenient sharpening. Third, it allows for rapid sharpening due to its high-purity alumina makeup.

The authentic mud sharpening process ensures an effective sharpening experience. The stone utilizes smooth clay with fine particles mined in Japan, creating an abrasive mud that enables precise sharpening. The same grain size as the main product is maintained in the abrasive mud, allowing for even sharpening.

Please note that the Nagura stone is not intended for flattening the whetstone. This #1000 grit whetstone, measuring 7.1 x 2.4 x 0.8 inches for the main stone and 1.1 x 2.4 x 0.8 inches for the Nagura stone, weighs 15.17 oz and 2.82 oz, respectively. The whetstone features white alumina (WA) as its abrasive material.

The set includes the main whetstone, a Nagura stone, an instruction manual, and a simple non-slip mat. This product is made in Japan, ensuring high-quality craftsmanship.

The #1000 grit whetstone is the most basic and frequently used medium grindstone. Many home cooks find that finishing with only this #1000 whetstone is sufficient for their needs. If you are purchasing your first whetstone, the #1000 grit is an excellent choice.

The high concentration of WA abrasives provides impressive grinding power, allowing even inexperienced knife sharpeners to immediately feel the sharpening effect on the metal. This whetstone is compatible with a wide range of steel materials, including stainless steel knives commonly used in households, as well as high-hardness steel knives. However, it cannot be used to sharpen non-metallic knives, such as ceramic or titanium knives.

The included non-slip mat allows for quick and easy sharpening around the kitchen. The rubber used in the mat has been carefully selected to provide a secure, slip-resistant surface while complementing the stainless steel aesthetic of the kitchen. Even those without a dedicated whetstone stand can start sharpening right away with this set.

The products undergo thorough inspection, with both the manufacturer's and our own checks to ensure error-free grinding stones.
