The Kai Seki Magoroku 8000 Grit Whetstone is the last step in a complete sharpening progression - polishing the edge to a mirror-like finish that maximises sharpness, reduces friction, and produces the cleanest possible cuts. Includes the same multifunctional base and storage case as the rest of the Seki Magoroku range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Specs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrit: 8000 (ultra-fine - finishing and mirror polish)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes: Multifunctional base and storage case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBase: Ribbed non-slip surface keeps stone stable during sharpening, water reservoir keeps stone wet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase: Top doubles as a soaking tray with fill line guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with: All double-bevel Japanese and Western knives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere This Stone Fits in Your Sharpening System\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 8000 grit stone is always the last stone in the progression - never the first. Use it after a coarse or medium stone has already restored the edge. At 8000 grit, the stone removes almost no metal - instead it smooths and polishes the microscopic scratches left by coarser stones, refining the edge to a mirror-like finish that is visibly sharper and longer-lasting. For Japanese knives like Shun, which are sharpened to a fine 16° edge, a high-grit finishing stone makes a noticeable difference to both sharpness and edge retention. The included base and case keep the process clean and stable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlways use after a coarse or medium stone - not as a standalone sharpening stone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFill the case top with water to the fill line and soak the stone for 5-10 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlace the stone in the ribbed base - fill the base reservoir with water to keep the stone wet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse light pressure - the 8000 grit stone does its work gently\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpen at 16° for Japanese knives, 20° for Western knives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRinse and dry after use, store in the case flat to prevent warping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlatten periodically with a leveling stone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Hale Imports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40020424523854,"sku":"AP0333","price":100.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/products\/image_9115dd32-7fad-49f5-8779-a633235d8432.jpg?v=1663590515","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/kai-seki-magoroku-8000-grit-whetstone","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
