Naniwa Stone Planer #220 PA
Flattening a stone is an integral part of the sharpening process on a Japanese water stone. After constant use, sharpening stones begin to deform because fine abrasives fall off mostly from the spot we use most frequently and where pressure is most present. To keep the stone perfectly flat, it needs to be regularly maintained or flattened, and for this purpose, we use this very stone flattener.
If you ask any sharpener who sharpens knives by hand, they will tell you that half the job is keeping your stone absolutely flat. This drastically affects the quality of the results achieved and ultimately user satisfaction.
This is a relatively new flattener from Naniwa's arsenal. It is pink aluminum oxide in #220 grit, which has proven to be an ideal choice for flattening both coarse and finer grit stones. In just a few strokes, this flattener removes irregularities and refreshes the stone's surface, leaving you with a perfectly flat and efficient working surface.
Before use, soak both the flattener and the stone to be flattened in water – after a few minutes, they are ready for use. Use water as needed during flattening.
We recommend using long, even, and consistent strokes with the flattener across the stone.
The flattening stone should always be held in hand and not placed on a stand, as uneven pressure can cause it to crack.

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.
