Famous For Selection and Service We offer many different types and dozens of brands of sharpeners. Matsunaga, with its brands King and Sun Tiger is probably the manufacturer most familiar to European consumers.

Its strongpoint are traditional soft stones that abrade quickly to reveal new sharp cutting particles. These kinds of stone must be dressed very often to keep them flat and effective. Cerax and Suehiro stones from Suehiro are a little harder, and as such do not wear down as quickly as the classic Japanese water stones.

The grit stone will perhaps give you the best cutting edge with a mirror polish on chisels and similar blades. Suehiro also makes a small combination stone for those who do not sharpen tools all that often and are reluctant to spend extra for a Cerax stone. The stones from Shapton are probably the hardest of all Japanese sharpening stones. They will remain flat for a long time. They are therefore the best choice if you are looking for a relatively coarse stone that cuts quickly without having to be dressed repeatedly.

The finer-grained stones also work very well. But Shapton stones do not provide the mirror finish you can achieve with softer stones. Best among the Naniwa stones are undoubtedly their fine-grained water stones. There are no other stones that achieve such a perfect mirror polish.

These stones, too, are obviously intended to engender a grinding experience similar to that of natural stones. The special production process is expensive, but the Sigma Select II probably has no equal when it comes to demolishing steel.

Juuma Cobalt Blue stones are made of an aluminium oxide and a bonding agent. Adding cobalt serves to slow stone abrasion and increase the speed of sharpening. The speed bonus is especially marked when stoning blue steel blue paper steel that is often used for Japanese planes and chisels.
