With natural whetstones becoming scarce, after five years of trial and error, fourth-generation Morihira President Oguro of Asakusabashi, Tokyo, has finally perfected an original, stable-quality artificial whetstone made with high-quality natural stones and fired at low temperatures. Unlike conventional artificial whetstones, there's no need to soak it in water for long periods before sharpening; simply pour a handful of water over it and begin sharpening immediately. Its sharpening performance is similar to that of natural whetstones, with excellent adhesion to stainless steel and other steels and shallow sharpening marks. The whetstone that comes off during sharpening contains abrasive particles, so sharpening together with the whetstone efficiently refines the edge. After sharpening, rinse the whetstone's surface, wrap it in a dry rag, and store it nearby without packing it away. If you notice your knife's sharpness has dulled, immediately take out the whetstone and sharpen it without any hassle. A sharp knife guarantees delicious food. This "Morihei [Fire] Whetstone" is shipped after undergoing strict inspection one by one. It can also be used without any problems on steel and stainless steel blades. The original artificial whetstone "Fire" series combines the advantages of natural whetstones and artificial whetstones. Founded in 1933 in Asakusabashi, Tokyo, Morihei is a manufacturer of blades 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 Japan's leading sharpeners and blade connoisseurs. Oguro came up with the idea for the "Fire" series of artificial whetstones, which he completed after five years of repeated trial and error.
By combining the advantages of natural whetstones, which produce sharp, smooth edges, 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 4000-grit rough whetstone. The 4000-grit medium-finish whetstone is used when you want to further improve the sharpness of your knife. By finishing the cutting edge more smoothly, you will be able to cut ingredients without damaging them, and the knife's sharpness will last longer.
*This medium finishing whetstone is 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 feel similar to that of natural whetstones and can be used on both steel and stainless steel.
Yoko Arimoto is also a fan. "I asked a long-established knife shop for the easiest whetstone to sharpen, and this is the one they brought out. It really is easy to sharpen. Sharpening a knife to improve its sharpness makes food taste better. Not only does it look pretty, but the smoothness of the cut also affects the taste," says Arimoto.
No need to soak for a long time. While most artificial whetstones require soaking in water for a while before use, this whetstone can be used immediately by simply pouring water over it.
