Product information
The BESTER sharpening stones by the manufacturer Imanishi from Kyoto offer a grinding feel almost like natural stones. BESTER sharpening stones have a medium hardness, do not require an excessive amount of water, and allow you to work quickly. You can hear and feel that a substantial material removal is taking place, and when you look at the blade afterward, you’ll be amazed at the amount. The stone responds quite directly to the user’s actions—those who have rubbed on stones before and felt no change on a blade or couldn’t develop a sense of what was happening will greatly appreciate this.
The wear of the stone and the associated hollow grind are relatively low. You should soak it for 5 minutes. The coarser stones require a water top-up after a few minutes, which is rewarded with higher grinding speed. Suitable for both carbon steels and stainless steels. The grits 400, 4000, and 8000 are slightly harder than the grits 700, 1000, 1200, and 2000. The size specifications are only approximate; most often, Bester sharpening stones are a few mm larger.
