Otani "Kitayama" Finishing Whetstone #8000
by Otani Toishi
$69.30The Kitayama #8000 is a highly refined polishing whetstone that outperforms many other pricier whetstones in the same grit range. Many 8000 grit whetstones tend to feel a bit dull, and soft, but this whetstone still retains enough feedback to allow the sharpening to know what is happen with the knife. The mirror-like finish quality is perfect for everyday and high-end commercial kitchen use.
