Shapton Kuromaku Sharpening Stones have different colors depending on the grade of coarseness. These are great for sharpening due to their high abrasive content that enables you to form an edge in no time.
Its unique bonding technology allows the abrasives to perform at an optimum level, allowing the stones to retain their sharpening ability longer.
This long-selling Japanese sharpening stone comes with a plastic case that is usable as a stone holder or base.
The Blue Black #320 stone is the third coarsest stone from the series. It is suitable for repairing a nicked or chipped edge. Despite it having a coarse grit size, it offers you a comfortable touch. You can use it to sharpen most kitchen knives, horticultural shears, and leisure knives.
Instructions:
- Soak the stone for 5 minutes before the first use.
- Soak for 30 seconds before subsequent uses (optional).
- Sharpen your knife on the stone, occasionally sprinkling water to keep the stone wet.
- Wash and dry your knife.
- Gently rinse your whetstone under clean water and air-dry completely before storing.

It's really really good but I would suggest getting a decent diamond stone for reprofiling. Don't get me wrong this does the trick wonderfully but a diamond stone is less messy and tends to work faster.
