From Tanaka Toishi comes the Michibiki series of Japanese whetstones. This high-quality synthetic whetstone is made of white alumina bound with clay. Soak for about 10-15 minutes and you’re ready to sharpen your knives. These are slow wearing stones and are particularly great for stainless steel knives. They are also slightly larger in size and thicker than most other stones, making them comfortable to sharpen on and longer lasting. Available in several different grits. Made in Kyoto, Japan.

Measures 8.5 x 3.2″ and is 1″ thick.
