An essential part of my knife sharpening tool kit

Can't help it. I find turning knives with water stones to be a relaxing Zen experience. My knives are of the highest quality. So I decided my whetstones should be the same. Arashiyama is an integral part of the Zen state, the process of attaining the state of an ultra-sharp knife. I also have an 800 grit chosera stone and dresser block to complete my sharpening tool set. I am very happy with this spray stone, the quality is amazing.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky

ARASHIYAMA! Much better than any stone I've used

I rarely give 5 stars but wow ARASHIYAMA! I have Shapton pro 320, 1k and 5k. 320 and 1k are amazing, 5k is ok, I wanted better. Now I have ARASHIYAMA! It's splash and go, it's very smooth as silk, can do more than just polish, it cuts well, no need to fill the gap between this and a 1k stone. It wears out slowly and is the perfect size. Nagura Stone is a nice feature. Far superior to Shapton 5k, King 6k and hard Arkansas stone. I could have Tourette sunglasses because I can't stop saying…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • fragile

6K is not good, but it corresponds to the description, maybe less than 6500. More than enough for everyday use of knives. The size is not a brick, but for a brick-sized stone, you have to pay more than 70 minutes. comes with a bamboo base which i like my stone has full support to prevent it from breaking. Even included a Negus stone, not a super expensive item but very handy if that's all you need to clean the stone and create a stain. A little bit closer to the softer side, I feel. The…

Pros
  • It's amazing
Cons
  • Some bugs
