Japanese Waterstones

We offer a range of the highest quality Japanese waterstones. Some of our bench stones are double-sided and others are single sided, with varying grits, from course to extra fine. These stones are quite simple the best available for sharpening bushcraft knives and other outdoor cutting tools and carpenters chisels. 

Japanese Sharpening Bench Stones:

The higher the number, the finer the grit. Our 6,000 and 10,000 stones are the finest, and used to polish a mirror finish to the edge of knives, making them super-sharp! The lower the number the courser the grit. The standard type grits are from 250, 800, to 1000. A great general sharpener would be the 800 or 250-1000 bench stones.

Single Grits Available: 800 (210x69x38mm), 1200 (200x63x30), 4000 (190x63x19mm), 6000 (190x63x19mm) and 10,000 (200x75x25mm), the 10,000 comes with a Nagura stone for creating a polishing slurry on the stone.

Double Sided Grits available: 250-1000 and 1000-6000, both (200mm x 50mm) in size.

Each stone will need to be used with water whilst sharpening tools.
