The Tormek Japanese Waterstone has a grit size of 4000 and provides a mirror-like surface with barely visible grind marks. The fine surface polishes the edge and creates the ultimate surface finish. If you desire razor-sharpness, this sharpening stone is for you!
This whetstone is ideal for sharpening hand tools such as wood carving tools, knives, scissors, plane blades, and chisels, which require minimal steel removal and superior sharpness.
The stone's unique composition gives it an extremely long lifespan. Since it produces such a fine finish, we recommend not honing on a leather strop afterward.
You should clean the surface of the whetstone from fine steel particles about once a minute. This is done with the fine side of the stone grader SP-650. Do not use the coarse side of the stone grader on the Tormek Japanese Waterstone.
SJ-200 fits the Tormek T-4 and earlier Tormek models with a 200 mm stone.
