Naniwa Abrasive Mfg Japanese Compact Sharpening Stone GOUKEN for Winding Blades #220/1000/3000 (QA-0360:#220)

This is more of a cutting stone than a sharpening stone so although it might be suitable for lawnmower blades and hedge clippers, it is too aggressive for knives. Machette - YES Chef's Knife - NO It breaks down easily so don't expect it to last like a standard whetstone. A good match for a gardener to throw in his tool box. A bad choice for resharpening used razor blades.

Great product, great price, great service

鎌用に買いましたが使い方が悪いのか、刃が出ません。砥石が削れるばかり。低速グラインダーで試してみようと思います。

I’m a professional sharpener, these curved stones are perfect for curved scissors sharpening by refinishing the “ride line” with the curved edge The trick is to wrap a piece of electrical tape around a portion of the stone. By placing this on the back of the blade so you can de burr the front ride line after sharpening on the Twice as Sharp the Hira-To or similar machines without taking metal off the rear of the shear’s blade.

I purchased both this one and the 1000. I’ll probably end up purchasing the 3000 too. These are fantastic quality stones and absolutely perfect for secateur sharpening. I’m so happy I found these and able to get them at such a reasonable cost! I’ve also since used them for honing other items and found them extremely effective!
