In addition to being an excellent stone to start your sharpening, this #400 stone from Hitohira's No.02 series is designed for the correction or light reprofiling stages of a knife. It is particularly useful for reshaping a dull edge or starting to sharpen a knife that has never been maintained.

Its soothing sharpening sound and consistent feedback make it particularly suited for beginners, while its performance satisfies even professional craftsmen.

As the tactile and acoustic feedback is very good, you'll be able to improve more quickly thanks to the cues it gives you.

Compatible with all steel types and kitchen knives.

Made in Japan, Kyoto.

Stay Sharp Tip:
This stone is our first choice when we need to create large bevels on an edge that's starting to get thick… It quickly removes material while remaining pleasant to use. A perfect choice for all levels, whether beginner, intermediate who wants to improve, or expert who prefers good feedback when sharpening.

Maintenance tips

Have it sharpened on a water stone by a professional every year. Store in a dry place. Wash immediately after use and dry completely before storing. Do not let soak. Not dishwasher safe.

Product notes

Please note that each handle is unique and may have distinct variations, such as differences in shades or colors in the buffalo horn, which is part of its authentic and handcrafted character.

Guarantee

Every knife carries a lifetime warranty against obvious manufacturing issues. For example, if the handle peels or cracks after a few weeks of proper use. Or if the blade develops a crack from the edge to the spine. These issues are rare, but can occur. In such cases, you will be offered an exchange for the same product or a refund. Since each case is different, it is at our discretion to assess whether our lifetime warranty against obvious manufacturing issues applies.

After-sales service
