Sakai Takayuki sharpening stone #4000
Sakai Takayuki is a well-known blade manufacturer in Japan. In addition to knives, through various collaborations, they also produce other products related to kitchen and other tools. Among them is this series of sharpening stones.
Takayuki stones are designed to meet the needs of hobbyists and professional sharpeners alike. Each stone is made specifically for its purpose, so the thickness, composition and dimensions are in perfect harmony with the task it has to perform. Because Takayuki sources the abrasives for making these stones directly from the manufacturer, the price of their stones is slightly more favorable considering the superior quality. Also, precisely because of the mentioned quality, these stones can sharpen any knife, from the softest to the hardest steel.
The 4000 grit stone is considered a fine sharpening stone and is suitable for achieving final results on all Japanese blades. After sharpening the knife to 1000 grit, use this stone to refine the results and achieve the desired level of sharpness.
We recommend that you complete the sharpening process of knives that are intended for chopping, such as the Santoku, Nakiri and Bunka shapes, at this granulation.

Everything you need to know about sharpening
How to choose the first Japanese knife?
If you are buying your first Japanese knife, the advice is to choose a multifunctional blade shape that will cover the widest range of your needs in the kitchen. This includes Gyuto, Santoku and Bunka. The rule is that bigger people need bigger knives and vice versa.
Japanese knife as a perfect gift
Although in the culture of the Far East it is not recommended to give a blade as a gift because of the connection with cutting off good relations, they also could not resist the perfection of such a gift, so they devised a "trick" that allows them to gift knives without problems. Just ask for one coin from the person receiving the gift and in the eyes of strict superstition spirits it will be a fair exchange. Now no joke, a knife is a gift that unlike other transient things will be remembered forever because it will serve forever.
