Tojiro F432

Tojiro Stone for home use #220/1000 Japanese waterstone, ideal for sharpening home kitchen knives. Granulation 220 is intended for very blunt knives and knives with a damaged cutting edge. Medium grit (1000) is used for regular sharpening of the knife, unless the blade is seriously damaged or completely blunt. Technical data: Dimensions - 174 x 55 x 27 mm Gradation - 220/1000 Stand included - yes Weight - 503 (without stand)/612 (with stand) Made in Japan Directions for use 1. Immerse the stone in water until it stops releasing air bubbles. 2. Place the blade at an angle of 10-15º, grab the handle with one hand and the blade with the other. Move the cutting edge along the entire length of the stone, pushing the knife away from you and towards you with a steady, steady motion and maintaining the same angle of inclination. If we hear the same sound every time we move the knife, we maintain a constant angle of inclination. Attention! The sediment that covers the stone during sharpening speeds up the entire process. Under no circumstances should you wash it, and if the stone becomes dry during sharpening, you should sprinkle it with water. 3. Repeat the sharpening process on both sides of the knife until the entire edge is sharp and there are no burrs left anywhere. 4. After sharpening, rinse the stone in water and store it dry.
