Now that natural whetstones are becoming scarce, after five years of trial and error, the fourth-generation president of Morihira, Oguro, of Asakusabashi, Tokyo, has finally completed an original artificial whetstone with stable quality, made from a blend of high-quality natural stones and fired at low temperatures. Unlike ordinary artificial whetstones, there is no need to soak it in water for a long time before sharpening; you can start sharpening immediately by pouring a palm-full of water over it. The sharpening quality is close to that of natural whetstones, it has good adhesion to stainless steel and steel, and it also leaves shallow scratches. The whetstone mud that comes out during sharpening contains abrasive particles, so you can efficiently finish the edge of the blade by sharpening it with the whetstone. After sharpening, wash off the whetstone surface, wrap it in a dry rag, etc., and store it nearby without putting it away. If you think your knife has become dull, take out the whetstone immediately and sharpen it without any worries. A sharp knife guarantees delicious food. This "Morihei [Fire] Whetstone" is shipped after strict inspection one by one. Another feature is that it can be used without any problems on steel and stainless steel knives. The original artificial whetstone "Fire" series combines the advantages of natural whetstones and artificial whetstones. Founded in 1933 in Asakusabashi, Tokyo, "Morihei" is a knife manufacturer that is highly trusted by professional chefs.
This is a long-established wholesaler specializing in natural whetstones. The fourth-generation owner, Akimitsu Oguro, is known as one of the best sharpeners and blade connoisseurs in Japan. Oguro came up with the idea for the artificial whetstone "Fire" series, which he completed after five years of repeated trial and error.
By combining the advantages of natural whetstones, which produce sharp, smooth finishes, with the advantages of artificial whetstones, which have stable quality, we have created a whetstone that is easy to use for a wide range of people, from professionals to home users.
This is a rough whetstone with a No. 4000 grit. The medium finishing whetstone with a No. 4000 grit is used when you want to further improve the sharpness of your knife. By finishing the edge of the blade more smoothly, you will be able to cut ingredients without damaging them, and the sharpness of the knife will last longer.
*This medium finishing whetstone is most effective when used after sharpening with a #1000 medium whetstone.
A revolutionary whetstone that can be used on both steel and stainless steel.Made with rare natural stones, this revolutionary whetstone has a sharpening effect similar to that of natural whetstones and can be used on both steel and stainless steel.
Yoko Arimoto is also a lover of this product. "When I asked a long-established knife shop for the whetstone that was the easiest to sharpen, this was the one they brought out. It really is easy to sharpen. When you sharpen a knife to improve its sharpness, the food you cook will taste better. Not only does it look pretty, but the smoothness of the cut also affects the taste," says Arimoto.
No need to soak in water for a long time. Ordinary artificial whetstones need to be soaked in water for a while before use, but this whetstone can be used immediately by simply pouring water on it.
