Description: Kyoto Natural Whetstone Goto Ohira Color Copper rare Super finish From Japan Description Natural Whetstone Kyoto Nishiyama Ohira Size 134mm×79mm×h37mm Hard yet soft and easy to sharpen It is a super finishing whetstone. Also recommended for kitchen knives. Thank you for your consideration. Coarse and medium whetstones are mined all over Japan, but natural finishing whetstones are only produced in Kyoto in the world. The vein runs from Kyoto City’s Ukyo Ward through Mt. Atago, and it is called the “holy land of natural whetstones” because high-quality natural whetstones can be mined. Craftsmen say that using a natural whetstone makes the blade sharp and very long-lasting. The natural whetstone produced in Kyoto has extremely fine grains and its high quality is very popular among professionals. The abrasive grains of natural whetstones are about 2-3μm with round corners (artificial abrasive grains are about 5μm). As it rubs against the blade, it becomes smaller and smaller, eventually becoming ultrafine particles about the size of #15000 baby powder. The ultimate blade comes from these particles. Also, when sharpening with a natural whetstone, the blade tip gets so hot that it burns, just like heat treating steel, it hardens. Even if you look at the blade tip under a microscope, you can’t see any particular change, but if you apply a hardness meter, you can definitely see that it has become harder. The mysterious power of nature and the depth of natural whetstones are popular factors. This mysterious hardening effect makes the sharpness last longer and extends the life of your precious blade. It is recommended to sharpen with a natural whetstone at the end of sharpening the blade.
