Experience the smoothness of superb sharpening. Never deforming or degrading, the “Gokumyo” is our ultimate whetstone.
The “Suehiro Gokumyo Series” is made with our unique combination of ultra-fine abrasives and binders. Our fired ceramic whetstones, while taking full advantage of the properties of ultra-fine abrasives, overcome the drawbacks of conventional natural and resin based whetstones, which could lose their hardness due to temperature changes, or when immersed in water, and which could suffer surface degradation and cracking. The abrasives have been enhanced from #13,000 (1.0 micron) to #20,000 (0.5 micron), resulting in a whetstone giving a smooth, superbly sharp edge, far exceeding the synthetic stones which came before. Ideal for the final finishing of knives and other blades — enjoy the experience of superb refinement and sharpening.
*Whetstone size may differ slightly from the listed dimensions due to the manufacturing method and post-processing.
*Materials and colors may change without prior notice within a range that does not affect performance.
■ How to Use
This whetstone has a dense concentration of ultra-fine air pockets and can be used immediately by lightly wetting it. Before use, briefly submerge it in water or wet the surface by hand, then begin sharpening. Under normal temperature variations or when left immersed in water, there is no risk of quality loss; it can be used in the same manner as conventional kiln-fired whetstones.
*After each use, rinse off the sharpening mud with water and restore the surface with the included cleaning stone.
