Lubrication aids the cutting action and carries swarf away. 【JAPANESE SHARPENING STONES】The Japanese traditionally used natural sharpening stones lubricated with water. They have been doing this for many hundreds of years. The geology of Japan provided a type of stone which consists of fine silicate particles in a clay matrix. These natural white and green whetstones are about 6000/8000/10000 Grits. 【BOTH ARTIFICIAL STONES & NATURAL STONES ARE INCLUDED】In the whetstone set, you will get 5 grades artificial stones and 3 grades natural stones. Modern synthetic stones are generally of equal quality to natural stones, and are often considered superior in sharpening performance due to consistency of particle size and control over the properties of the stones. Natural stones are often prized for their natural beauty as stones and their rarity, adding value as collectors' items. 【COMPREHENSIVE & ECONOMICAL SHARPENING STONE SET】Including 8 Pcs whetstones.
