The 1000 grit is a universal choice for daily maintenance of kitchen knives, allowing quick restoration of sharpness without excessive material removal. The Kuromaku series is among the hardest water stones available on the market. This means it wears down more slowly and requires less frequent flattening. Its high abrasive efficiency also handles hard steels such as R2 or ZDP-189 well. The Splash and Go technology means the stone does not require soaking before use. Simply wet its surface with water to start working. Only the first use requires a short soaking. The included box also serves as a stable base during sharpening. Complementing the set is the Nika guide, which helps maintain a consistent sharpening angle of about 15°. Mounted on the spine of the blade, it ensures repeatable movements and facilitates learning the correct technique. The part contacting the stone is protected with a ceramic cover, increasing durability and reducing wear.
