Whetstones & Knife Care
Accessories Information
The GlassStone series of sharpening stones uses a revolutionary design to provide great usability within a thin package formed from a combination of glass layers. The conventional image is that sharpening stones are large and heavy, but GlassStones are not only thin and light, but also strong, as layers of tempered glass are stuck together. GlassStones therefore have strong resistance to cracking or sudden breakage caused by external shocks such as being dropped.
Shapton stones do not need to be soaked except the very first time after purchase. We do recommend that on first use, you pre-soak the stone in water for five to six minutes to secure even smoother sharpening. Shapton stones do not need a Nagura Stone, and lapping with a Nagura Stone will leave the surface rough and ragged.

The Ikyu 1000 grit is definitely different from many other stones we stock. Due to it's unique production method and relatively secretive blend ratio, it feels coarser, cuts faster, and feels more like a natural stone compared to many other 1000 grits.
The 3000 and 6000 synthetic/natural powder (Mikawa Nagura) blend are perfect finishers for most stainless steels (AUS8/10, VG10, Ginsan are best on 3000) and provide a very toothy yet refined everyday edge for carbon knives. These stones need to be soaked before use.
About the Natsuya
The Binsui is a natural whetstone used at the start of a natural stone progression. They are of slighter higher hardness and are fast cutting.
All natural stone sales are final, we try to provide the best possible representation of the stone via our images.

Accessories Information
This polishing powder is synthetic, used for dull/glossy blade finishes. After a knife has been abraded with a stone (eg. thinning), the powder can be used to pop damascus patterns back out of stainless steel.
The GS Pond remains steady while sharpening and can provide you with a stable work space even away from a sink.
Sharpening generally produces a dirty slurry which often splatters over the surroundings.
The GS Pond offers a space wide enough for sharpening as well as for catching the water that drips off the stone.
