TSUSHIMA Nagura

The Tsushima Nagura natural whetstone is an excellent choice, even for beginners exploring Japanese natural whetstones (JNAT). This stone originates from Tsushima Island in western Japan, renowned for its high-quality whetstones.

Features:

• Origin: Tsushima Island, Japan
• Material: Very fine-grained quartz stone
• Grit level: Approximately 5000-6000 (comparable to synthetic stones)
• Length: 205 mm
• Width: 75 mm
• Thickness: 25 mm
• Weight: 1100 g

A natural stone always contains cracks from the manufacturing process, and for example, the corners may be chipped, but this is part of the JNAT experience. However, the sharpening area is always smooth.

Usage:

The Tsushima sharpening stone is extremely dense and structurally homogeneous, making it an excellent choice for finishing knives. Due to its hardness, it is also suitable for sharpening straight razors. The stone is entirely coated with a lacquer layer, with only one surface open for use. The stone must not be soaked. The purpose of the lacquer layer is to minimize moisture penetration into the stone, but it cannot withstand soaking. In my use, I have finished fillet knives, clipper blades, and other straight edges with this stone.

Advantages:

• Versatility: Suitable for various sharpening needs, especially finishing
• Durability: Long-lasting and high-quality natural stone
• Traditional craftsmanship: Highly valued among professionals and artisans

Why Choose the Tsushima Whetstone:

The Tsushima natural whetstone offers a unique sharpening experience, rooted in centuries-old Japanese craftsmanship. Its excellent quality and performance make it an ideal choice for both professional chefs and enthusiasts.

ATTENZIONE!

Le pietre "Splash-and-Go" non devono essere conservate immerse in acqua per lunghi periodi. Usa solo la quantità d’acqua necessaria per la pietra. Non immergere completamente la pietra in acqua. Dopo l’affilatura, asciugala immediatamente con un asciugamano per mantenerla pulita e avviare il processo di asciugatura. Lascia asciugare la pietra in una posizione in cui non tocchi alcuna superficie solida – ad esempio appoggiandola su una penna. Lascia asciugare lentamente e senza fonti di calore aggiuntive. Non esporla alla luce solare diretta e non lasciarla gelare quando è umida. Il processo di asciugatura dura più di 24 ore. Conserva la pietra al riparo da urti, ad esempio nella sua scatola senza l’eventuale pluriball originale. Non mettere la pietra bagnata in un sacchetto di plastica.
