Product description

The best knives require special care and consideration. The steel of a knife from Yoshihiro Cutlery was forged with careful attention by master craftsman heated and quenched through many laborious steps. The final product being a steel that is of the appropriate hardness with enough elasticity for inner structural integrity. A key component of knife care is knife sharpening.

At Yoshihiro we offer 3 different grades of stones that run the gamut from coarse to fine and are essential tools for proper knife care.

A #1000 grit Arato stone is best used for repairing damaged and very dull knives. The stone is abrasive which takes off a lot of material for refashioning a dull edge.

A #3000 grit "Nakato Shiage" stone is best used for creating a sharp polished edge. This stone is necessary to maintain the blade's edge and is recommended for routine sharpening.

An #6000 grit "Shiage" Fine Finishing stone is best used for creating an even more refined and honed edge.

Yoshihiro Toishi Whetstones are much larger than ordinary Japanese whetstones which help to sharpen more evenly. The wideness of the stone which measures 2.9 inches across gives more surface area to accurately sharpen longer blades, and at 0.9" inch in height has enough material to provide years of use. Weighing over 2 pounds with a sturdy wooden base attached on the bottom, our stones are also more stationary and less prone to slipping making for a safer sharpening experience. Yoshihiro whetstones are also the highest quality water stones available, encapsulating superior sharpening particles that bring out finest edge of a blade.



Flatten the surface of your whetstone with a Stone Fixer in order to correctly sharpen the blade with an even edge. Create an optimal sharpening surface on your polishing stone with a Nagura Conditioning Stone.

• Grade : Toishi Sharpening Whetstone Full Set /Type: Japanese Sushi Chef Tool
• 2.9 inches in width that allows for a larger surface area to sharpen your knife more accurately.
• The height (0.9”) has enough material to provide for years of use.
• Size: 8″x2.9″x.9″ without base / Proudly made in Japan
• *Include #1000, #3000, #6000 Grit Whetstone + Stone Fixer + Nagura Conditioning Stone

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the entire stone , wood and all submerged in water? Seems like this would damage the wood base over time
Answer:	All Sisley is made in France. There are no other versions.
Question:	Today I noticed 2 of my stones were cracked, one is cracked completely through. Does Yoshihiro offer a warranty
Answer:	About 10 minutes. After continuous use for 10 minutes, please rest for 5 minutes.
Question:	Is there any special requirements on the water used to store the stones in? Purified water, bottled water or is regular tap water from the sink ok
Answer:	Dear Alex, This is a normal phenomenon that the air pump may stop working after 10 minutes. Our air pump has high-volume and low-pressure with overheating protection. If it used for more than 10 minutes, the air pump may stop working due to overheating. It is suggested to let the air mattress pumps have a rest after continuously 10 minutes working. The instruction manual mentions the overheating protection of the air pump. ''DO NOT use the pumps continuously for more than 10 minutes to prevent overheating. Otherwise, it may damage the air pump.'' Please read the instruction manual carefully and follow the instructions. I hope this helps to answer your question. For any other question, please contact us directly through the message or e-mail us at [email protected]. Thank you! Sincerely, FiveJoy Customer Service
Question:	Is this the Iminishi stone with a different name
Answer:	Dear Ules, Firstly, thanks for your question. our electric air pump has 3 nozzles, L: 0.78 inch; M: 0.6 inch; S: 0.2 inch; and the diameter of the inflate and deflate port is 1.18 inches. Our inflatable pumps are suitable for most inflatable products, please rest assured to buy. Hope to help you. Sincerely, FiveJoy Customer Service
Question:	Is this real stone or synthetic
Answer:	Dear Brittany, Thank you for your question and support for FiveJoy! Do not operate over 5 mins by using a small nozzle. Do not operate over 10 mins by using medium/large nozzles. Please rest 5 mins to avoid overheat. Please contact us by [email protected] if you have any questions. Many thanks! Sincerely, FiveJoy
Question:	Purchased this as a gift for my son-in-law to use for his straight-edge razor. However, there are no instructions in English! Can anyone provide this
Answer:	Essentially it would work for balloon but it won't make them float because its not a helium machine.
Question:	Does this product ship from Japan or is it stocked in the U.S
Answer:	It has to be plugged in to use...it doesn’t charge.
Question:	Is this one worth the extra $20 for the Nagura stone? Is it even necessary
Answer:	It does. We used it to inflate tubes for water tubing and it works. It is smaller than I thought so it takes a few minutes to fill up the tube but we are pleased with it.

Yoshihiro Toishi Sharpening Stone Whetstone

The best knives require special care and consideration. A key component of knife care is knife sharpening. Japanese knives should always be sharpened and honed on premium quality Japanese water stones. A good quality Japanese whetstone not only is the best surface to sharpen and maintain of your knife, but it is also the best tool to preserve and take care of the blade the high quality steel that it is made of.

Three General Tips on Stone Care:

Rough stone #400-#1000 grit (Arato)

Best for repairing damaged and very dull knives. These stones are very abrasive and takes off a lot of material.

Medium stone #1000- #3000 grit (Nakato)

The most frequently used stones. These stones are necessary to maintain the blade's edge. They are not as abrasive as Arato grit stones and are recommended for routine sharpening. (#3000 Grit Includes the Nagura Conditioning Stone)

Finishing stone #3000- #10000 grit (Shiage)

Creates a sharp polished edge. Essential for creating a refined edge, but may be more prone to dulling. (Includes Nagura Conditioning Stone)

Step 1

Start with a #1000 grit stone.Divide the knife into 3 sections (tip, middle, heel). With the edge of the knife facing away, place the Shinogi flat against the stone. Firmly push the blade to the edge (Red arrow). Next, pull the blade back to where you started without applying pressure (Blue arrow). Repeat until a rough edge (burr) is felt on the opposite side of the blade. Continue through to the other sections. (See image #1)

Step 2

Switch to a #3000 grit stone. Flip the knife with the edge facing away, and place the blade flat on the stone. Firmly pull in the blade towards the edge (Red arrow), then push the blade back to where you started without applying pressure (Blue arrow). It should feel like scraping water off the surface of the stone. Repeat this until the burr is no longer felt. Continue through to the remaining sections of the blade.

Step 3

Repeat Step 1 with a #3000 grit stone. Next, repeat Step 2 with a #8000 grit stone. Finally, repeat Step 1 again with the #8000 grit stone, but do not make a burr. Instead, sharpen until the blade is polished.

Step 1

Start with a #1000 grit stone. Divide the knife into 3 sections (tip, middle, heel). Facing the edge of the knife away from you, and starting at the tip of the knife, create an angle between the blade and the stone that is approximately 15-20 degrees.

Step 2

While maintaining the angle firmly push the blade to the edge of the whetstone (Red arrow). Then pull the blade back to where you started without applying pressure (Blue arrow). Repeat until a rough edge (burr) is felt at the opposite side of the blade. Continue through to the remaining sections.

Step 3

Flip the knife with the edge facing away. Firmly pull the blade towards the edge of the stone (Red arrow), then push back to where you started without applying any pressure (Blue arrow). Repeat until a burr is felt on the opposite side of the blade. Continue through to the remaining sections of the blade.

Optional Step

Repeat Steps 1-3 with higher grit stones to achieve a finer edge or to polish blade edge.

User questions & answers

Question:	what material is the stone made from
Answer:	The stone is man-made and is made mostly of ceramic.
Question:	What holds the stone to the base while sharpening so the stone doesnt move
Answer:	Basically the water creates suction with the water in the base and holds the stone. Along with the ridge on the base you wont be losing the stone any time soon. Even if you didn't have the base the friction from the stone on most surfaces will keep it stationary.
Question:	Is this also made to sharpen ceramic knives made from zirconium oxide
Answer:	Really, I would use diamond stones - they aren't that expensive and are much harder than zirconium oxide. A ceramic knife is a knife designed with a ceramic blade typically made from zirconium dioxide (ZrO2; also known as zirconia). These knife blades are usually produced through the dry-pressing and firing of powdered zirconia using solid-state sintering. It is 8.5 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, compared to 4.5 for normal steel and 7.5 to 8 for hardened steel and 10 for diamond. Aluminum oxide grit stones (like this) are 9 on the Mohs scale (not much harder). Silicon carbide stones are 9-10 and would hold up better. Diamond is best, but you need a quite fine grit to sharpen the edge to a cutting edge.
Question:	Do you soak one or both sides of the stone
Answer:	I can't definitely say that soaking damages the 6000 side, but my 6000 side is starting to disintegrate after less than a dozen uses, and I've been soaking the whole stone (including the 6000) side.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this work with Tormek T
Answer:	Dear customer, Thank you for interesting in our grinding wheel sharpener, We have the grinding wheels on sale, this is the link of grinding wheels that is 120 grids, the granularity need to as the same as grinding wheel sharpener. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08DY41NCL Sincerely, customer service
Question:	Will this work on the T
Answer:	Dear customer, Because we upgrade the switch with an waterproof cover and use a better grinding wheel. Best wishes.
Question:	Will fit on grizzly
Answer:	I would never use this for a lawn mower or any other large tool blade. Even using a grinding wheel on a bench grinder is a bit cumbersome given its length and in some cases curves in the blade (like Honda). Probably better off using an angle grinder with a 80-120 grit wheel.
Question:	will it hone straight razors
Answer:	Yellow Elmers glue is just Elmers branded wood glue. Any wood glue will perform the same.

Mirror finish on your chisels

Whether you’re going to sharpen western-style chisels or hand-forged Japanese chisels, the Tormek Japanese Waterstone will take them to the next level of sharpness. Thanks to the stone's fine surface (4000 grit) it creates a mirror edge and a superior sharpness.

Razor-sharp knives

The Japanese Waterstone is perfect for you who want to give your knives some extra love and care. Since the surface left by the Japanese Waterstone is so fine, you don't even need to hone your knife afterward on the leather honing wheel.

Clean the stone with the SP-650 Stone Grader

A good tip when sharpening is to clean the stone surface of steel particles every minute or so with the fine side of the Stone Grader SP-650. This way you keep the stone clean and active. Do not use the coarse side of the Stone Grader on the Japanese Waterstone.
