Gyokucho Natural Waterstone B (Longer)
Natural Japanese Waterstone with longer, narrower format. Mostly uniform beige coloration with subtle diagonal veins.
Dimensions: Approximately 7.5 × 2.25 × 1 inches.
Its extended length is ideal for full-length sword blades and longer knives, while the slimmer width helps maintain consistent angle control during sharpening.
The key to using a natural whetstone is to put just a little bit of water on the surface. To avoid cracking the stone, never soak natural stones in water.
Start sliding the blade back and forth, and the water will quickly turn black. Don’t wash away this black water, as it helps polish your blade.
Since it is a super fine finishing stone, you will not hear the regular scraping sound you hear when using artificial stones. There is almost no sound when you sharpen the blade with a natural whetstone.
