Set of 7 Single Grit Toishi + Nagura Stone

Product Description

This set includes 7 single grit stones and the Nagura correcting stone.

These stones are 3 inches (75mm) wide which is particularly useful when honing wide plane blades, knives or cut throat razors.

These stones cut quickly but are dense and hard enough not that most of the them do not require soaking prior to use (the exceptions are the 220 & 600 grits). A sprinkle of water is all you need to get to work for the 1000+ grit stones. The 1,000 grit will establish your secondary bevel and the 10,000 grit yields a beautiful final polish.

The Nagura(correcting) stoneis used to condition waterstones during use. For natural waterstones their use is to wear away hard particles or contamination in the waterstone, and to selectively allow flattening by being rubbed on a high spots on the stone. Another usage is to create slurry. Use with Ohishi stones of more than 1000 grit.

Stone sizes:

Grain 220 – 205 x 80 x 35mm
All other single grit stones 205 x 75 x 25mm
Nagura Stone 75 x 25 x 25mm
