Nagura Dressing Stone
Nagura is a special stone used to refresh the surface of other stones intended for sharpening knives.
The regular use of a sharpening stone closes the abrasive structure of the stone. Small pieces of steel that are removed from the knife by sharpening in the form of gray marks are "stabbed" into the stone and reduce its cutting power. This is where Nagura comes into play. In just a few movements, you will remove all impurities from your stone and thus improve its characteristics.
Nagura should not be confused with straightening stones, but serves exclusively the above-mentioned purpose. Only fresh abrasives and a well-cleaned stone can lead you to a perfect sharpening result.
We recommend that you use nagura only for stones of 1000 grit and more. Coarser stones usually do not need a nagura.

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.
