This package is an extended package of the
Hiomakivi Pack V3. We have included a rough stone 400.
For a long time, I have been looking for a balance between quality and price when building a whetstone pack for beginners and home users. It is not exactly an easy job. Efficiency, convenience, and durability often come at a price in whetstones. We have created a package that does not show the softness that often plagues cheap stones and does away with the discomfort of over-hardness.
This is the second version of this Pack, and it has taken care of one of the significant shortcomings of the first version, namely the increased size of the stones. The package comes with an amazingly powerful 800 grit stone, from which you can jump to the 3000 stone that comes in the Pack. The comfort of use of the finishing stone in its price range is top-notch. You can also sharpen hard carbon steels with these stones, so the stones in this package are more versatile than, for example, the MultiStone stones.
The whetstones can be classified as semi "Splash-and-Go" stones, meaning they require only a little water to work.
For the maintenance of the stones, a flattening stone is included. In addition to these, a stone holder and an angle guide are provided for ease of use.

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.
