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.
These whetstones can be classified as semi-soaking 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 good quality Naniwa stone holder and an angle guide are provided for ease of use.

ATTENTION !
Cette pierre à aiguiser est dite semi-immergeable. Elle fonctionne au mieux après un trempage de 5 à 10 minutes. Ne conservez pas la pierre dans un bassin d’eau. Après l’aiguisage, essuyez immédiatement la pierre avec une serviette pour la garder propre et commencer le processus de séchage. Laissez sécher la pierre dans une position où elle ne touche pas de surface solide – par exemple posée sur un stylo. Laissez-la sécher lentement et naturellement, sans source de chaleur supplémentaire. Ne l’exposez pas à la lumière directe du soleil et ne la laissez pas geler lorsqu’elle est humide. Le séchage prend plus de 24 heures. Rangez la pierre à l’abri des chocs, par exemple dans sa boîte d’origine.
