High quality stone from Naniwa removes steel quickly & effectively. We like this stone for prepping knives for a kasumi finish. It works very good for blending scratches, and bringing very dull Japanese knives back to life.

 CARE FOR YOUR WHETSTONE:

-This is a "splash and go stone", DOES NOT REQUIRE SOAKING!
-Keep stone flat with truing stone.
-Dry at room temperature.
-Store in a cool area away from any heat source.
