Ikyu Shin Nagura Whetstone 1000 Grit

The Ikyu 1000 grit stands apart from many other stones we stock. Thanks to its unique production method and secretive blend, it feels coarser, cuts faster, and feels more like a natural stone than many other 1000 grits. It lays a fantastic base to progress to the Ikyu 3000, and its extra thickness makes it great value. These stones need to be soaked before use.

• Coarser-feeling mid-grit whetstone, used for minor chip repair and as the first step in a general sharpening progression
