Review on πŸ”ͺ Expertly Crafted Japanese Whetstone Sharpening: Shapton Kuromaku - Unlock Precision and Sharpness! by Tom Tucker

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Amazing stone all over

This is an imported version so be aware of this and what it includes (guarantee!). But otherwise VERY CUTE. High grit, but you can still see that the metal comes off relatively quickly. Helps sharpen the blade of still-sharp blades (like your handy SAK). Give me a good razor blade. Being able to use this with minimal water consumption is an amazing improvement over traditional rotary and soaking stones. Setup, use and cleaning made easy. My next stone will most likely be 12K Shapton. If I had to start from scratch, I would think long and hard about how to put together a useful set from top to bottom.

Pros
  • Hand tools
Cons
  • So far so good
