The Gold G-1 8000 grit stone has revolutionized my knife maintenance routine. The ultra-fine grit creates an absolutely mirror-like finish on my Japanese knives. The included Nagura stone is essential for developing the perfect slurry. After three weeks of regular use, I'm achieving edges that can effortlessly slice through paper. Yes, it requires patience and technique to get the best results, but the learning process has been enjoyable. I particularly appreciate how the stone maintains its flatness even with regular use.

仕事の為1000番の砥石の後仕上げにキングG1で包丁を研いでます。
余り長く研ぎ過ぎると刃が丸くなってしまい切れ味が落ちてしまうので研ぎ過ぎ注意です。
でもこのG1しか使う気になりません。
G1のお陰で仕事はスムーズにこなせてます。

砥石をいろいろな番手揃えて買うのにちょうど良い商品です。
研ぎやすく良く切れるので満足しています。かなりおすすめできます。

Great sharpening stone for maintaining my Japanese knives. The 8000 grit gives an amazing polished edge.
