Yoshihiro Professional Grade Toishi Japanese Whetstone Knife Sharpener Water Stones (#400 grit)

Used it once so far. The resulting edge was extremely sharp BEFORE stropping. Edge is also mirror-like. Very pleased. Will buy more of these stones. With these modern whetstones you get what you pay for. I feel I got my money’s worth and maybe more.

I have four of these stones along with two Shapton and another splash and go stone. Bought a two sided King to learn on as well. I’m not sure why Burrfection videos do not include these in their reviews. These are the absolute, unequivocal best whetstones. They do require soaking, but develop a slurry which gives you nice sharpening action and feedback. They are permanently mounted to a base. I like these above all that I have. They are a few dollars more, but don’t dissolve when left in water and are big and thick enough to last a lifetime. Highly recommended.

What a great tool!! Highly recommend for durability, ease of use, great sharpening tool!

I have owned quiet a few brand of whetstones but these are by far the best ive ever had but the should be when you look at the fact that the cost for all 3 about 4 or 5 times more than a set of the other stones ive had but I have very high quality knives so I though I should have equally high quality whetstones. Ive used these a ton already they are holding up well I sharpen with a mixture of Japanese and western styles utilizing the scrubbing motion of the Japanese style with the sliding motion of the western style so the stone gets word pretty evenly which makes it so I dont have to smooth is out as often saving the stones from getting more worn down. The get my knives absolutely razor sharp to the point where even my cheaper knives cut through paper with little to no resistance. Great stones and the perfect set would make a great gift for any knife enthusiast who doesnt have as high of quality stones or if your like me and just want to have razor sharp knives.

I didn't know what to expect and the price seemed too high. Worth every penny and more. I wish that I bought the set.

The set is great, with the resurfacing block and particle remover (i don't know what they are called). I have been using them for a little while and they do really well with kitchens knifes and CPM 3V steel. I wish the grit spacing was linear instead of 1k, 3k, 6k grit but thats kind of a minor issue. I would recommend just the 3k or 6k to anyone just wanting to refinish an edge.

I did a lot of research before buying this Japanese water stone. It's just right to put a razor sharp edge on my chef's knives. What a difference it makes to have an edge like that for cooking. It's large and heavy and that's what I wanted for stability. I like the way you submerge the whole thing in water and when the bubbles stop coming out it's ready for use. Great stone!

Everything was as good as i expected , i have been using their brand knife since i started chef career, and now it’s about time to buy their wet stone , which help me use my knife to the max , this brand never dissapoint me , for you guys want to buy good knife , try to search it throu their website, they got tons of choice

Great stone! Thick enough so that it will last a long time. A little expensive but if you’re budget allows it, go for it. You won’t regret.
