Naniwa Traditional Japanese Whetstone Sharpening Stone, 220 grit - T-901

Naniwa Traditional super coarse 220 Grit Japanese Sharpening Stone, NO Stand, 21cm x 7cm surface, 2cm thick.

This super coarse stone is perfect for very quickly grinding a new edge on your knife, and for working out nicks or cracks or other imperfections in old used/abused/damaged knives. Use this grade only when you regular maintenance and finishing isn't doing the trick anymore. It's very coarse and so will cut (remove metal) quite aggressively, so use care.

These "Traditional" series stones are high quality and affordable! They require a good soak (20 minutes will do) prior to use, but please do NOT store them in water. They cut quickly and have a nice feel... they are neither worse or better than other series, only different... some people prefer the more traditional feel, give one a try!
