■Product Description
The ideal whetstone for maintaining blades in the Craftsman's Spirit series has arrived.
Made from high-quality natural whetstones from the Takao region in northern Kyoto City and the Tanba region, which have been matured for hundreds of millions of years, it achieves a sharpening feel that is on a different level from artificial whetstones.
Sharpening your blade with this whetstone will maintain its sharpness for a long time.
How to use and store natural whetstones
Natural whetstones sharpen with slurry, so after sharpening to a certain extent, continue using it without washing away the slurry that has come out.
It is best to wash it with water after use, wipe off the moisture thoroughly, and store it wrapped in a towel or other cloth.
●Please note that since the product is a natural product, there will be variations in dimensions etc. from one to another. The sharpening feel will also differ from one to another.
Difference in sharpness between natural whetstones and artificial whetstones
If the blade edge is at the same angle, the sharpness will basically be the same regardless of which you use, right? Artificial whetstones can sharpen relatively quickly, but their abrasive power is too strong, making it easy to create burrs (edge burrs, sharp edges) that are difficult to remove, making it difficult to achieve a sharp edge.
In contrast, natural whetstones have a milder abrasive power, so sharpening takes relatively longer, but they are less likely to create burrs and make it easier to achieve a sharp edge.
Also, because they preferentially sharpen the softer parts of the steel first, leaving the harder parts on the surface, the edge lasts longer and is sharper.
In short, natural whetstones, which are less likely to create burrs and sharp edges, make it easier to achieve a sharp edge, resulting in superior sharpness and longer-lasting sharpness compared to artificial whetstones.
