A note about measurements: Handmade Japanese knives can vary in their dimensions, so these measurements are only an example.
This grit is great for starting a somewhat sharp edge and refining rougher edges. The texture is rough enough to cut steel quickly but smooth enough to give a shaving edge that can easily be polished on finer stones. A 1000 grit stone is an essential stone for any knife sharpener - and the Naniwa Professional series, is one of the best available.
When to use this stone:
Always flatten your stone with a truing stone after sharpening.
