・Beginner-friendly model with “angle-fixing guide & whetstone base/storage case combo.” Achieve professional sharpness – a compact all-in-one set that does it all. This whetstone set was created to solve problems like “My knife has lost its edge” and “I want to sharpen it, but it seems difficult.” A whetstone is a tool for sharpening and restoring the edge of metal blades by abrasion. This product comes with an “angle-fixing guide” that simply attaches to the back of the knife to maintain the optimal sharpening angle. Even those with no experience can sharpen at a consistent angle. Plus, the dedicated plastic case allows for easy storage after use, eliminating storage concerns. This is the perfect set for anyone looking to achieve “easy, sharp results.”
・Hard, strong, and resistant to wear. The “Corundum Whetstone” trusted by professionals. This product uses “corundum (alumina),” a mineral second in hardness only to diamond.
・Exceptional sharpening power (abrasive force). Composed of extremely hard particles, it can quickly sharpen blades of all types of metal, from stainless steel knives to high-speed steel chisels. This also reduces working time.
・High durability and flat surface retention. It is resistant to wear and less prone to “deterioration” – where the whetstone itself wears down and becomes uneven during sharpening. It maintains a flat surface, making it suitable for precision planing and sharpening tools like planes and chisels.
・Consistent finish. The uniform particle size minimizes unnecessary scratches on the blade, resulting in a sharp, even edge.
・■ #3000 (Finishing/Adjustment) 【Features】 Fine particles and a smooth surface. The gentle polishing action can polish the blade to a mirror finish. The dense corundum particles create a sharp and durable edge.
・【Purpose/Use (#3000)】 “For those seeking professional sharpness and a beautiful cutting surface. A finishing whetstone that creates a sharp edge on sashimi knives and extends tool life.”
・Improved sharpness: Eliminates microscopic irregularities on the blade, allowing it to cut without tearing the food fibers, achieving a “sharp edge.”
・Increased edge retention (durability): Smoothing the blade reduces friction, maintaining sharpness for longer.
・Burr removal: Neatly removes metal burrs created during intermediate sharpening, resulting in a clean cutting surface.
・Finishing precision tools: Used for final adjustments on tools requiring precision, such as chisels, planes, and sashimi knives.
・Main compatible blades (limited to metal excluding titanium): Tools with thicker blades that are used roughly, and blades requiring high abrasive force due to their hardness.
Outdoor/agricultural tools (prone to chipping): Axes, billhooks, sickles, hedge shears, lawn shears
Thick cooking knives (for major corrections): Deba knives, small Deba knives, Aji-kiri knives, Salmon knives, Gyuto knives, glass knives, stainless steel Chinese cleavers
Special/high-hardness tools (requiring abrasive force): Ice carving chisels (due to harsh use conditions) High-speed steel chisels/planes (initial sharpening when intermediate whetstones take too long due to high hardness)

【Voltage Compatibility】
When using electrical appliances, please note that they are designed for Japanese voltage specifications (90-110V), so if you use them with a different voltage, it may cause a malfunction.
【Plug Type】
Our products use Japanese plug types (A or B type).
Please use a conversion adapter if necessary.
【Important Note on Transformers and Adapters】
A transformer adjusts voltage to match your device's requirements.
A conversion adapter only changes the plug shape and does not adjust voltage.
Using only a conversion adapter without a transformer may result in damage to the product.
【Liability】
We are not responsible for malfunctions or damages caused by improper use, such as operating the product without a transformer.
