High-quality water sharpening stone from Matsunaga Stones, Osaka, Japan.

Unlike Western stones, Japanese stones use water instead of oil to prevent clogging of the surface with metal particles.

Japanese water stones are softer than Western stones and have a comfortable feel in use because you can see and feel the stone cutting the surface and creating a continuous and sharp edge on the tool.

Because they are relatively softer, these stones may need to be flattened from time to time.

Synthetic finishing stone (No. 1000) suitable for household use, knives, woodworking chisels, plane blades, sickles, etc.

Dimensions: 207x66x34mm.

Instructions:

Soak the stone in water for 3 minutes before use and keep it wet by spraying water during sharpening.
