Masahiro Medium 1000 Grit Waterstone

---

Dimensions: 2-7/8 in. W x 8-1/8 in. L x 7/8 in. Thick

The Masahiro 1000 grit stone is perfect for establishing an edge on a dull knife. If you were to purchase just one stone for all your knives, this should be your choice. It cuts quickly lasts a long time and leaves a slightly toothy edge that will shave, yet bites right into tomato skins. General sharpening may be done with this stone, hone off the burr and you are back in business.

Norton 1000/4000 grit Combination Waterstone

---

Dimensions: 8x3x1 inches.
These stones vary from the Japanese in two key areas.
The grit size is just a bit coarser. (There is no International Standard for grit sizes)
The bonding agent is softer than a premium Japanese stone. I don't know that they actually wear faster though, because they produce results much more quickly. I really like the finish produced by the 4000 grit and we use it regularly.
We actually like these stones quite a bit. Nice size, sturdy plastic box that also serves as a stand for the stone. Be very careful to not push the edge into the stone. Draw the knife towards you with the edge facing away. Please call or email with any questions.

Dimensions: 8 x 3 x 1 in.

Norton 1000/8000 Grit Combination Waterstone

---

The 1000 grit is fairly course and should be used to fix minor chips and dings in the blade. The 8000 is used for a high degree of polish on a knife. Generally, stones in this range are used on traditional Japanese knives to smooth grind marks along the shinogi line and minimize drag. For general use like cutting tomatoes, this may be too high a degree of sharpening. When slicing meats and fishes you benefit from this mirror finish sharpening. The blue plastic box features rubber feet, and can be used as a holder during use.
