Jant Japanese Natural Whetstone kyoto Aoto 京都 本山青砥 2200g 極厚 Grit 3000 Lv4.0

Aoto stones cut differently than synthetic stones. They can be considered to be around a 3000 grit abrasive but are made from a gradable grit meaning that they can vary from steel to steel and also can be made to cut differently with different amounts of water and pressure. Controlling the viscosity of the slurry on the face of the stone can help produce specific results, whether a finer or hazier finish.


-This is a huge stone. There are some small cracks slightly to the left in the middle. Avoiding it won't affect sharpening the knife because most natural whetstones are not perfect.


-This stone can be mastered even by beginners


-This stone seems to need to absorb water, but do not soak it in water for a long time, otherwise it will crack


-Quickly create sharp edges for knives with fewer scratches than artificial 3000 grit whetstones


-It is extremely large in size and can be used for a lifetime by experienced people
