Question: I have 1 problem. Manual on case is in Japanese. which i dont know. Can you tell please - for how long i have to soak stones in the water before use?
Document: i received my with a chip in it and Amazon immediately refunded me which was very kind.i bought this to polish glass. i am not very familiar with what i should use so i tried it. it worked pretty well to do just finishing work on that.i will be honest i still dont know which side is 1000 and which is 6000.  they are not labeled and my Japanese isnt up to par:) other than that its a nice stone. the plastic base makes it much easier to use too
I would have given 5 stars if there had of been a small bottle that came with the kit that could be used to hold water for the stones. It holds up well IF you know how to use and care for it. Sharpening with a stone ( actually a series of stones ) is not natural. To use one you should readup on a couple of internet articles on knife sharpening.
Finally, you should use a leather strop with a green and black compound to really get a good edge.Bottom Line and Reccommending Sharpening System:1.) 250/1000 grit King Water Stone2.) 3000 or 4000 grit King Stone3.) Leather strop with compoundYou only really need the 250, 1000, and 3000 (or 4000) grit stones with the strop. I have seen the strop put a better edge than 8000 grit stones.
This is the first Japanese water stone I have ever used and it will not be the last. I can not believe how sharp I can get all of my knives with it. If you are only going to buy one stone the 1000/6000 is a great combo. Carter Cutlery has a Youtube channel that shows how to use these stones along with some other tips and tricks. Enjoy!
Very good whetstone for regular use. Will sharpen any kitchen knife without ruining its edge if you know what you're doing, be they German knives (I use it with my Wusthofs) or more delicate Japanese knives, such as Global or Shun. Highly recommended.
I used to use the &#34;scary sharp&#34; system. However, I found myself spending a lot of money on wet dry sand paper and 1-5 micron paper can be up to $2.00 per sheet. Not to mention the tape, plate glass, spray adhesive  and the mess. When I got this King comb stone, I soaked it in water according to instructions. The first time I used it, I knew I would never go back.
These King Stones are legitimate Japanese Water Stones made in, you guessed it, Japan. They are extremely versitile and are the highest quality stones I have used. However, there are a few more good companies out there. Water stones are true to the craft of knife honing and sharpening and is a useful skill to teach yourself.
This water stone puts a razor edge on my chisels and hand plane blades with very little effort, used in combination with a courser pre stone it will put a razor edge on in a very short time with very little work. I would have given it 5 stars but did not because of the fact that there are no instructions on how to use it unless you can read Japanese.
You can do it, but it just takes an unnecessarily long amount of time. It can take a while for the amateur chef or inexperienced person to grasp sharpening with a water stone (most people just use those terrible supermarket metal disc sharpeners) but the results are well worth it. On the 6000 grit side, I've found that moving the knife back and forth really fast allows less room for error and gives it a mirror finish.
Fast shipping on the product and king water stones are a great brand to learn yo use water stones without breaking the bank. I recommend them to anyone wanting to freehand sharpen they cut slower than diamonds so if you make a mistake they are more forgiving, yet they leave a nice polished edge.
Answer: 20-30 min dark side only. Soaking the fine side will cause cracking.
