Kensho Zan Whetstone #400
3This #400 whetstone is called "Zan" meant and designed to sharpen quick. The trait is the stone makes less clogging so that it leaves little and shallow scare to blade because of the raw material. It used high quality abrasives mixed with special hard abrasives.
This coarse #400 stone is great for fixing chippings, thinning kireha edge, and sharpening hard carbon steels.

This course 400 stone is comfortable to use and has very good feedback. I am going to try other stones in this line and hope to order a 3000 soon. I use these stones for sharpening woodworking tools, chisels and plane blades mostly. There are few choices in many of the grits.

Thanks for the review. If you have any questions, please let me know. If you need, I have 320 grit big one for repairing bigger chippings as well.

These stones were recommended by a friend. Ordered the 400 to give them a try. Really impressed by this one and plan to get a few more. The feel and response is unique. Very smooth and tactile.

Thanks for the review. It cuts fast but also smooth and keep the surface flat longer that's what I think compared to other ones. And, I think it leaves not so deep scare to knife so that it's easy for the next step!?
