They are slow wearing and are mostly designed for sharpening tool blades made of hard steel, although some prefer these stones for sharpening knives of high hardness. The #8000 ultra-fine-grit whetstone gives a fine mirror polish along the edge. It's recommended to flatten these whetstones regularly, as it may take lots of time and effort to re-flatten the stone if the surface is dished excessively.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade in Japan\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpec:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Osaka, Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel No.: IT-0180\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrit No.: #8000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Soaking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimension: 200 x 65 x 20mm (7.9 x 2.6 x 0.7\")\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 557g (19.65oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eAbrasive\u003c\/span\u003e: W\u003cspan\u003ehite Aluminium Oxide \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCohesive Agent: Magnesium-bound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePre-soak for 15 minutes before use, and apply water on surface during sharpening when needed.
