Japanese whetstones online | MyGoodKnife

Japanese whetstones were originally used by samurai to sharpen weapons. Modern whetstones combine ancient traditions and new processing technologies. The name of the water stones speaks for itself: they are immersed in water before use. It is impossible to use them using or with oil. Despite the large selection of modern sharpening devices, whetstones remain the best tool both for sharpening blunt knives and for constantly maintaining the cutting edge in perfect condition.

Japanese whetstones differ in terms of granularity. This indicator is always shown on the packaging and on the product page. Stones of 220 grit and below are used to repair damage or sharpen very blunt knives. It is necessary to handle such stones carefully, they are suitable for people already familiar with the skills of sharpening. Stones from 300 to 600 grit are also very coarse. They will easily sharpen any tools that are difficult to sharpen.

1000 grit is the optimal grain size for sharpening European knives. For sharpening Japanese knives, stones with a grain size from 1000 to 3000 grit are suitable. Water stones with an index of 8000 units are used for finishing the blade. Our store also offers special stands that are convenient to put in the sink. The stone is fixed on them with special fasteners. Also, most of the japanese whetstones have a plastic stand included. Over time, after repeated use, the surface of the water stone may deform. Special stones are used to correct it, for example, Tojiro F-421 or Naniwa A-102. Our assortment also includes stones that must be used without water, diamond and other sharpening tools.

Even a knife made of the best steel always requires proper sharpening. In our range you will find tools for sharpening already blunted knives, as well as for constantly maintaining the working condition of the cutting edge. The frequency of sharpening depends on how often you use the knife, as well as on the properties of the steel. For example, carbon steel knives keep sharpening longer. When choosing sharpening tools, pay attention to the sharpening angle. So, standard European sharpeners are not suitable for Japanese knives, since the sharpening angle of Japanese knives is less and is about 15 degrees, while European knives are 20 degrees. For sharpening Japanese knives, we recommend using sharpeners from Japanese manufacturers, whetstones or musats. Musats are also the optimal universal sharpening tool for any knives. In our store you can buy musats, electric sharpeners, kitchen knife sharpeners, hiking sharpeners, grindstones online. Here is our selection of sharpeners, electric sharpeners, sharpening stones, sets for sharpening and care.
