Features:
With natural whetstones becoming scarce, after 5 years of trial and error, Morihei's 4th generation president, Oguro, in Asakusabashi, Tokyo, has finally completed an original artificial whetstone with stable quality by blending high-quality natural stones and firing at low temperatures.
Unlike general artificial whetstones, there is no need to soak it in water for a long time before sharpening; you can start sharpening immediately by simply splashing a handful of water on it.
The sharpening feel is similar to natural whetstones, with good bite on stainless steel and steel, and shallow sharpening scratches.
The slurry that forms during sharpening contains abrasive particles, so sharpening with the slurry allows for efficient finishing of the blade edge.
After sharpening, wash off the slurry from the whetstone surface and store it nearby, wrapped in a dry cloth, rather than putting it away.
Enjoy delicious cooking with sharp knives.

Morihei [Hi] is shipped after rigorous individual inspection. It is also characterized by its ability to be used without problems on steel and stainless steel blades.

For shipping, due to thickness restrictions, the product will be placed in a Nekoposu (Japanese postal service) package with the box opened. We appreciate your understanding.
