Ideal for beginners and those who sharpen blades occasionally, Japanese Combination Waterstones offer a straightforward introduction to the precision of Japanese waterstones. Available in two essential grit combinations, these stones cater to a range of sharpening needs, from reshaping to polishing:

• 250/1000 Grit: Features a fast-cutting coarse 250 grit side for reshaping and repair, paired with a medium 1000 grit side for general sharpening.
• 1000/6000 Grit: Combines a medium 1000 grit for sharpening and smoothing blade edges with a fine 6000 grit for polishing and finishing.

Select your preferred grit combination from the drop-down box above.

Please note, traditional stones abrade quickly to reveal new, sharp particles. Maintain their flatness and effectiveness through regular dressing with a Flattening Stone or a suitable diamond stone.

Specifications:

• Size: 200 x 50 x 25mm (8" x 2" x 1")
• Lubrication: Use water only - never oil! Soak the stone for 5-10 minutes before use and keep it wet during sharpening to clear away debris and maintain effectiveness.
