Benefits of a #1200 Grit Stone
The 1,200 grit stone is great for sharpening Traditional Japanese knives, because Traditional Japanese knives are more delicate than Western style knives. However, the #1,200 grit and #1,000 grit are interchangeable.
* For a more abrasive grit, we recommend using the nagura stone on your #1,200 grit stone, then using the mud produced to sharpen.Click here to learn how to sharpen!

Caution
Caution
- Please do not soak finishing stones (#3000 and above). Soaking a finishing stone will result in the stone cracking and breaking.
- Returning a stone into a box while still wet or damp will result in molding and decreasing quality.
- For double sided stone, please only soak the medium stone side (#1000). Failure to do so will result in the stone splitting and or breaking.
