Naniwa Stone Planer #220 PA
Flattening the stone is an integral part of the sharpening process on the Japanese water whetstone. After constant use, the sharpening stones begin to deform because the small abrasives fall off the most from the place that we use most frequently and where the pressure is most present. In order to keep the stone in a state of absolute flatness, it is necessary to regularly maintain it, i.e. level it, and for this purpose we use this stone leveler.
If you ask any sharpener who sharpens knives by hand, they will tell you that half the work is keeping your stone absolutely straight. This drastically affects the quality of the results achieved and the ultimate user satisfaction.
This is a relatively new straightener from Naniwa's arsenal. It is pink aluminum oxide in #220 granulation, which has proven to be an ideal choice for straightening both coarser and finer granulation stones. In just a few movements, this planer removes unevenness and refreshes the surface of the stone, leaving you with a perfectly flat and efficient surface to work on.
For leveling, we recommend that you use as long and constant movements with the leveler as possible over the stone to be leveled. When leveling, use water as needed.

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.
