King Deluxe #6000 Japanese Waterstone

The King Deluxe Japanese waterstone with #6000 grit is a professional tool designed for finishing cutting edges and polishing them. Manufactured in Japan by the renowned King brand (Matsunaga Stone), it is a classic choice for achieving smoothness and very high sharpness. It allows for precise refining of steel previously sharpened on lower grit stones.

Application:

• For sharpening: hand planes, chisels, kitchen knives including Japanese ones (santoku, bunka, nakiri), stainless steel knives, carving knives, marking knives, garden tools, etc.

• Polishing blades to remove burrs and achieve exceptional smoothness, near mirror polish.

• Maintenance and sharpness retention: ideal for regular, ongoing touch-ups of woodworking chisels, plane blades, and high-end carbon and stainless steel kitchen knives.

• Precision work: finishing carving tools and edges requiring a perfectly clean cut without tearing wood fibers.

Key Features & Benefits:

• High grit (#6000): allows for achieving edge smoothness at an exceptionally high level, which significantly reduces resistance during work with chisels or hand planes.

• Consistent slurry release: the polishing paste created during sharpening ensures an even finishing process without the risk of scratching the tip of the blade.

• Optimal dimensions and weight: the stone size of 207×66×20mm provides stability at the workbench and a comfortable surface for guiding wide plane blades.
