By removing the natural whetstone powder used in previous models and using only high-purity domestic abrasives, this whetstone achieves even greater sharpness. Made with domestic high-purity abrasives fired at low temperatures, this whetstone provides a smooth sharpening feel and creates an extremely sharp and even edge with minimal scratches. Its ability to perform the work expected of a man-made whetstone makes it suitable for both  finishing and use before using a natural whetstone. Due to its cushioning properties, it can be used to sharpen various types of steel and base metals.

Kensho is an artificial whetstone created through a collaboration between our sharpener and a natural whetstone manufacturer, after more than a year of trial and error, incorporating whetstone research and feedback from the field.\u003cbr\u003eIt's focused on considering the role that each grit of whetstone should play and ensuring that it performs that role appropriately. Furthermore, the
