PIERRE ARATO-KUN #220
Features
Coarse whetstone great for repairing chips
Coarse grit whetstones are great for sharpening when the blade becomes dull, correcting blade deformations, and making a ridge line called "Shinogi." Since a coarse whetstone alone cannot restore sharpness, sharpen with a medium whetstone after using the coarse one. Made from PA (alumina abrasive), Arato-kun is enhanced with greater cutting power and durability compared to conventional coarse whetstones.

Care & Use
-
Soak the whetstone in water for about 20 minutes before use.
How to Use Whetstones
- Before starting to sharpen, always soak the whetstone thoroughly in water. Once bubbles stop forming, remove it from the water.
NOTE:
- When left soaked in water, the whetstone may become loose and dissolve. Soak it just before sharpening.
- For natural stones, which do not absorb much water, do not soak in water.
- The soaking time may vary depending on the product. - When placing a whetstone without a base, place it on a wet towel to prevent slipping.
- During sharpening, do not wash away the sharpening residue; instead, sprinkle a small amount of water to keep the whetstone surface wet.
- After sharpening, rinse the whetstone thoroughly to remove sharpening residue.
How to Maintain Whetstones (Surface Correction)
- Every whetstone wears down with use, particularly becoming concave and deformed from the center.
- If used as is, uneven wear may occur, affecting the sharpening process. Therefore, it is important to keep the whetstone flat and free from irregularities at all times.
- After sharpening 1 to 2 knives, use a truing stone or a concrete block to level the surface horizontally.
