Imanishi Combo 1000/6000 Pack

Now available is a high-quality Japanese double-sided Imanishi Seito Combo 1000/6000 stone for beginners. This stone is the first of its kind with these grits to be accepted into the hiomakivi.fi store.

The stone is large and heavy, surpassing many of its competitors solely by its size.

The 1000 grit is the thicker part of this stone and the best feature this stone has to offer. The 6000 grit requires less water and is of such high quality that you can finish your knives after 1000, which is not easily achievable with many other similar stones.

The whetstone provides brilliant and high-quality feedback that differs completely from similar Chinese stones. I would say that this stone is even intended for someone who enjoys sharpening, as the feel is so refined.

The stone comes with a thin anti-slip mat that works. Since the stone is thick, your fingers won't hit the table surface during sharpening, so you don't need to purchase a separate stone holder.

NOTE!

This whetstone is a so-called semi-soaking stone. It works best after 5-10 minutes of soaking. Do not store the stone in a basin of water. After sharpening, immediately wipe the stone clean with a towel. This will give the stone a clean look and start the drying process. Place the stone to dry in a position where it does not touch a solid surface. For example, place the stone on top of a pencil. Allow the stone to dry slowly, without additional heating. Do not place the stone in direct sunlight. Do not allow the stone to freeze when wet. It takes more than 24 hours to dry. Store the stone protected from dents, for example, in its box.
