Grit: 8000
Whetstone Size: 210x70x20mm
The Naniwa Traditional line of whetstones is a good starting place for learning to sharpen as it is a bit more affordable; it is also a good continuing point for those more experienced. They require a bit more soaking time, and do dish a bit more easily than the Professional line, but are easily flattened.
This 8000 grit stone is perfect for polishing up and putting the finishing touches on your knife. This stone takes it the extra step in sharpness.
Notes:
- Before use, soak for around 10 minutes or until bubbles stop.
- Do not soak the stone for long periods of time.
- Clean sediment off after every use.
- If the stone becomes dished or lightly gouged, flatten with a truing stone or diamond plate.
- Store when dried.
