Product information
For modern stainless steels that are hard to sharpen and where a Japanese water stone might clog, it is not so easy to find the right stone. We experienced the same issue. Fortunately, we discovered the MISSARKA synthetic stone. Like the stone itself, the name – a combination of Mississippi and Arkansas – is an artificial creation, borrowing from the names of famous natural stones named after their places of origin.
The removal rate during sharpening and honing is significantly higher than that of 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 corundum and pink corundum – are sintered. During sintering, the sharp edges of the corundum are rounded, the stone becomes denser, and the finish is therefore finer. The corundum is pressed into blocks in a special process without binders. Binders in fine stones lead to a smearing effect with alloyed steels.
This stone is excellent for honing (removing the fine burr) kitchen knives and other tools.
By omitting binders, this stone clogs significantly less than conventional sharpening stones and is therefore particularly suitable for stainless knives.
