Korin HA-1074 Mizuyama Fine Grain Sharpening Stone

The Mizuyama stone is Korin's original line of sharpening stones that gained popularity over the years for its quality.

The Mizuyama stones are high quality tools that are made for and used by professional sharpeners. These stones absorb water to create a nice slurry of mud that makes the sharpening process easier and faster. Mr. Sugai and his apprentice uses these stones everyday to sharpen and repair knives as well as teach customers proper sharpening methods. The #6000 grit stone is the basic finishing stone for most knives. The #6000 grit stone will produce a finer edge, and is recommended as a finishing stone for harder steels.
