A stone that flattens whetstone surfaces
IMG-001 shows the stone. The maker lists it to flatten the surface of whetstones, so a stone that has worn into a dish can be made level again, and your knives meet a true surface each time you sharpen.
Silicon carbide with a stated grit of 220
The stone is black silicon carbide at grit #220. That number is stated by the maker, so you know how coarse the stone is before you buy, and you can plan how long each flattening session will take.
A solid block that weighs about 425 g
The stone measures 170 x 55 x 30 mm and weighs about 425 g, so it sits firmly on the whetstone while you work, and you do not have to chase a light block across the wet surface.
A care rule you should follow
Dishwasher use may limit use, so wash the stone by hand under running water. Wipe off the slurry, let the stone dry fully, and keep it out of reach of infants, since the stone is heavy and hard.
A stone the maker describes for flattening
The maker describes this stone as a whetstone flattening stone, and no other use is claimed. Use it on whetstones only, and keep it away from the blades of your knives so that the edges stay safe.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is this product and who is it for?

It is a whetstone flattening stone of 170 x 55 x 30 mm and about 425 g, made of black silicon carbide at grit #220, listed by the maker to flatten the surface of whetstones. It suits people who sharpen their own knives. It is made in Japan per the maker's page, and we ship it directly from Japan with tracking to your address.

What grit is it?

The stone is black silicon carbide at grit #220, as the maker lists it, so you know the number before you buy. That is the grit of this stone, and it is made to flatten whetstone faces, not to polish blades. Use it on whetstones only, rinse both stones afterwards, and let them dry fully before you put them away on the shelf, away from damp.

Can I put it in the dishwasher?

Dishwasher use may limit use, so wash the stone by hand under running water, and wipe off the slurry with a soft sponge. Let it dry fully after every use. The stone weighs about 425 g and is hard, so keep it out of reach of infants, and store it on a stable shelf where it cannot fall, away from the edge.

How do I use it on a whetstone?

The maker lists the stone to flatten the surface of whetstones. Wet the whetstone, then rub the flattening stone across its face with even strokes until the dished area is level. Rinse both stones afterwards. Use it on whetstones only, never on the blade of a knife, so that your edges stay safe and sharp for the next job in the kitchen.

Does it have a color choice?

No, this stone comes in a standard finish only, plain dark silicon carbide. If you want another stone, choose another product, since this one has no other option at all. It ships directly from Japan with tracking to your address, and arrives in sturdy packaging made for the trip over, wrapped to keep it safe and dry on the way.
