Matsunaga Sabi Clear S - medium #120

This flexible abrasive rubber is commonly known as a “rust eraser”, and the name says it all: rub it like an eraser and the rust comes off. The abrasive blended into the rubber effectively removes surface rust and patina from knives, and by working over the entire blade you get a more even, cleaner-looking finish.

Grit #120 is the medium option in the series and the most versatile choice. It removes rust and stubborn stains effectively, yet leaves a noticeably cleaner finish than the coarsest #80. If you only buy one rust eraser, choose this one. For the worst rust, choose coarse #80 (MS101), and for the finest finishing, fine #240 (MS103).

For cleaning whetstones
Perhaps the best feature of this product: it cleans the surface of a whetstone incredibly quickly, even in seconds. Wet the stone, rub the surface and rinse, and the stone is ready to use again. Note that the rust eraser does not flatten the stone; it removes metal and dirt that have built up on the surface.

• Removing rust and patina from knives and tools
• Cleaning whetstone surfaces
