Arashiyama #6000 grit fine whetstone. Mounted on a rot resistant wooden base. Comes with nagura.

The Arashiyama 6000 is a mix of synthetic and natural grit. Ideal for finishing most double bevel kitchen knives as it leaves a fine, slightly toothy edge necessary for vegetable prep. It is one of the fine stones of choice at our shop for knives that need a fine finish but also benefit from extra tooth in their finish.

Use the nagura stone to raise a fine mud; it will speed up the polishing process. Also use included nagura for resurfacing the face of your fine stone after flattening with a coarser grit.

We have used this stone in our sharpening service for over 15 years and while some other stones have a faster cut or finer finish it is a great choice for many knives and is a really good value as well if you are putting together a compete kit and want to keep the budget in check.
