🇬🇧 Hitohira No.02 Whetstone #3000 – Finishing Stone

Type: Finishing whetstone (#3000 grit)
Dimensions: Approx. 205 × 75 × 25 mm
Abrasive: White aluminum oxide
Application: General kitchen knives – all steel types

This #3000 stone is used in the final stage of sharpening to remove micro-scratches and burrs from previous grits. It polishes the edge and greatly improves both sharpness and edge retention.

Its porous vitrified structure continuously releases fresh abrasive particles to maintain performance. Resistant to weather, acid, and alkali, it does not degrade over time and requires no special storage.

Highly recommended for any steel type, from high-carbon to stainless.

Made in Japan in Kyoto.

Stay Sharp Tip:
This is the stone we use in-store for precise finishing work. Follow up a #1000 stone with this one to refine and reveal the edge. It leaves a soft, satisfying feel on the bevel while enhancing cutting performance.

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.
