Ikyu Shin Nagura #1000 whetstone

Ikkyu Shin Nagura #1000 is a unique Japanese whetstone that combines the performance of modern synthetic abrasives with the sharpening feel of premium natural stones. Made from a blend of synthetic abrasive materials and natural Mikawa Nagura powder, it delivers fast cutting speed, excellent feedback, and a rich abrasive mud during sharpening.

The #1000 grit is designed for regular knife maintenance and everyday sharpening. It removes material efficiently, restores dull edges quickly, and provides an excellent balance between cutting speed and control. This makes it suitable for both professional chefs and home users.

During sharpening, the stone produces a rich abrasive mud that enhances cutting performance and creates a smooth, natural stone like sharpening experience. The blade glides comfortably across the surface, providing excellent feedback and control.

As a Splash & Go whetstone, Shin Nagura #1000 requires no lengthy soaking. Simply add water and begin sharpening. Its carefully engineered structure helps resist clogging and maintains consistent cutting performance throughout the sharpening session.

The stone performs exceptionally well on both carbon and stainless steels, including Shirogami, Aogami, VG10, Ginsan, SG2/R2, and many other steels commonly found in Japanese kitchen knives.
