September 22,2024

This is a double sided Japanese Whetstone (Toishi) with base useful for sharpening a dull knife or honing a knife prior to use. The sharpening stone is a combination Japanese Whetstone (Toishi) with Grit 800 (Red side) and 6000 (White side). The Japanese Whetstone (Toishi) manufacturer Matsunaga with the brand name King is from Osaka Japan. They are the oldest and best-known Toishi maker of Japan. This is a double sided Whetstone (Toishi) with Combination Grit 800 and 6000 which is medium (red side) and finishing (white side). Medium side is for a middle sharpening point after using the rough grinding stone. This will decrease the grinding pattern on the metal after a rough stone. A finishing whetstone is used when creating minor adjustments to the cutting edge. Since the polishing power is weak, use it after grinding with a medium whetstone. Please read before use: 1.Soak in.
