Grit: fine grit #600 Type:Diamond Size 10.6\; Product description To get a really sharp edge, you need to sharpen your Japanese knives with Japanese waterstones by hand. The process of sharpening on a stone is no different than grinding wood; the whetstone gradually scrapes the material off the blade to shape the metal and polish to a pointed edge. Water stones are available for this purpose in a wide range of grits, from very coarse to fine. They are referred to as water stones because water is the lubricant that adds to the sharpening process. This shows performance at the same level as traditional diamond whetstone #1000 - #1200. Finest stones (#600) are fine enough to take a greater amount of dull metal off the blade faster than fine stones, making the fine stone a good starting point in sharpening routine for users with a solid basic level of sharpening skills. Heat bond is used to adhere a super hard diamond surface to diamond stones, allowing for very fast sharpening. They are very durable, do not need to be pressed in and only occasionally require the built up metal chips with a dressing stone. They are highly abrasive, not recommended for inexperienced users.; Product description To get a really sharp edge, you need to sharpen your Japanese knives with Japanese waterstones by hand.
