Shapton Glass stone #6000
The #6000 grit stone is a universal finishing stone for Japanese knives. The finer the stone, the slower it wears out, so it will last you an extremely long time. You will probably never need to buy this granulation again. The finish you achieve is known as "mirror polish". The result is exceptional sharpness that leaves you breathless. This stone is recommended for sharpening all Japanese knives and is essential when sharpening traditional Sushi knives like Yanagiba and Debe.
It is important that the stone has the following characteristics:
EFFICIENCY (quick and precise removal of all steel alloys)
DURABILITY (slow wear of the stone with minimum deformation)
QUALITY (quality and permanent result after each use)
Of all the manufacturers, SHAPTON stones proved to be the best in these matters. Hard Japanese steels can be sharpened on it very easily and quickly, but also softer ones, i.e. German ones. SHAPTON stones change shape very slowly and wear out slowly, which is extremely important for good results, but also for user satisfaction. Although it is thinner compared to the stones of other manufacturers, the life span is incomparably longer. According to our loyal customers, the sharpness of knives sharpened on these stones is superior in terms of durability and level of sharpness.

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.
