Product information
This roughing stone is twice as thick as the other stones in this series, with a thickness of 50 mm.
BESTER sharpening stones from the manufacturer Imanishi in Kyoto offer a grinding experience almost like that of natural stones. BESTER sharpening stones have medium hardness, do not require an excessive amount of water, and allow for a very efficient sharpening process. You can hear and feel that significant material removal is taking place, and when you look at the blade, you will be amazed at the amount removed. The stone responds quite directly to the user’s actions – those who have previously rubbed on stones without noticing any change to a blade, or who couldn’t develop a sense of what was happening, will greatly appreciate this.
The wear of the stone and the resulting hollow grind are relatively minimal. You should soak it for 5 minutes. The coarser stones may require a splash of water after a few minutes, which rewards with a higher grinding speed. Suitable for both carbon steels and stainless steels. The grits 400, 4000, and 8000 are somewhat harder than the grits 700, 1000, 1200, and 2000. The size specifications are only approximate, as BESTER sharpening stones are usually a few mm larger.
