Description
King Japanese Water Stones are known for their sharpening abilities on woodworking tools, knives, and other blades. Coarser grit stones are used to remove nicks and for the first step sharpening of badly dulled tools. Mid-range grits, 1000 and 4000, take that sharpened edge to a very sharp edge. 8000 grit is the finishing stone that removes scratches from the surface. Care must be taken to keep from moving coarser grits onto the surface of finer stones, so each tool must be carefully wiped down before it is moved up a step in the sharpening process. Prior to use, stones should be immersed in water for 10 minutes and kept wet during sharpening. 8000 grit polishing stone needs only a splash of water on the surface to cut properly. Stones quickly expose a fresh cutting surface for use, which over time creates a sort of dish effect. Stones may need flattening with some frequency.
