Japanese Water Stones
These water stones are manufactured from a variety of
fused abrasives which create a porous, friable surface. This is important
since, as the tool is rubbed on the stone, the particles of abrasive are
rounded and dulled. Unfortunately with oil stones, the particles are
tightly bound together, producing a dulled surface which greatly reduces
cutting speed. On the other hand, the water stone's porous, friable surface
keeps fresh, sharp abrasive constantly exposed on the surface, thus
accelerating and optimizing the cutting effect. Full instructions for care
and use are included with each stone.
