Yoshihiro Japanese Whetstone Knife Sharpener Water Stones (SET)

Introducing Yoshihiro Cutlery, a company that specializes in handcrafted premium Japanese kitchen knives. With a lineage spanning centuries, all Yoshihiro knives are meticulously crafted by artisans who have perfected the techniques passed down from medieval Japanese swordsmiths. These techniques involve the skillful handling of fire, iron, and water, resulting in knives that embody seven centuries of tradition fused with modern innovation inspired by Japanese ingenuity.

Made in Japan, the Yoshihiro Toishi Sharpening Stone Whetstone is an essential tool for maintaining the quality of your best knives. Ranging from 400 grit to 10000 grit, these Japanese water stones provide the optimal surface for sharpening and preserving the high-quality steel of your blade. To properly care for your whetstone, it is recommended to submerge it in water until air bubbles cease, flatten the surface with a stone fixer, and use a Nagura Stone to clear away metal particles and scratches.

The whetstones are categorized based on their grit levels - rough stone for major repairs, medium stone for routine sharpening, and finishing stone for a polished edge. For single-edged knives like Yanagi and Usuba, a specific sharpening process involving multiple grit stones is recommended. Double-edged knives like Gyuto and Santoku require a different approach, starting with a #1000 grit stone and moving up to higher grit stones for a finer edge.

Yoshihiro offers a range of Professional Grade Toishi Japanese Whetstones in various grit levels, from 400 to 10000 grit, catering to different sharpening needs. Each whetstone is crafted with precision in Japan and comes with a Nagura Conditioning Stone for optimal sharpening conditions. Customers have praised the quality of these whetstones, with ratings averaging between 4.6 to 5.0 stars.

With dimensions of 8"x2.9"x.9", these whetstones provide a larger surface area for accurate sharpening, ensuring years of use. The full set includes #1000, #3000, and #6000 grit whetstones, along with a Stone Fixer and Nagura Conditioning Stone, making it a comprehensive tool for Japanese sushi chefs.
