Introducing our #400 Grit Whetstone, measuring 8"x2.85"x0.9" (without base) — please note, this does not include a Nagura Stone. The Yoshihiro Toishi Whetstones are impressively larger than standard Japanese whetstones, providing a more expansive sharpening surface for even results. With a generous width of 3 inches, this stone ensures you have plenty of space to sharpen longer blades accurately. Its 1-inch height guarantees durability, making it a reliable companion for years to come.

Weighing in at over 2 pounds and featuring a robust wooden base, our whetstones are engineered for stability, significantly reducing the risk of slipping during sharpening. Renowned for their premium quality, Yoshihiro whetstones encapsulate top-tier sharpening particles that bring out the finest edge on any blade.

Sharpening is a critical aspect of knife care, and it’s essential to hone your Japanese knives on premium quality Japanese water stones. These stones not only offer the perfect surface for sharpening but also help preserve the exceptional steel of your knives. Crafted with meticulous precision by master artisans, the steel from Yoshihiro Cutlery boasts optimal hardness and elasticity, ensuring your knives perform at their best.
