Product information
For modern stainless steels that are difficult to sharpen and where it can sometimes happen that a Japanese water stone clogs, it is not so easy to find the right stone. We experienced the same issue. Fortunately, we discovered the MISSARKA synthetic stone. Just like the stone itself, the name – a combination of Mississippi and Arkansas – is an artificial product that borrows from the names of famous natural stones named after their locations.
The material removal during sharpening and honing is significantly higher than with the aforementioned natural products. On the other hand, the fineness of the finish is much more pronounced than with synthetic stones of similar grit size. The raw materials of these stones – white alumina and pink alumina – are sintered. During sintering, the sharp edges of the alumina are rounded, the stone becomes denser, and the finish is thus finer. The alumina is pressed into blocks using a special process without binders. Binders in fine stones lead to a clogging effect with alloyed steels.
In this combination stone, the coarse side – approximately grit 150 – is made of silicon carbide, which is processed with binders. In coarse stones, binders are unproblematic.
Grit size approximately 500, but grinds similarly to a Japanese stone with grit 800.
This stone is excellent for sharpening kitchen knives and other knives.
For fine honing, we recommend the pink Missarka stone. By forgoing binders, this stone clogs significantly less than conventional sharpening stones and is therefore particularly suitable for stainless knives.
Here in combination with a coarser grit 150 for rough work.
