Proper care of knives, scissors and any cutting tool is very important. A sharp, well sanded edge is essential for a clean cut. There are a number of ways to sharpen knives and tools, but water stones are the preferred method because the user has absolute control during the sharpening process. Japanese whetstones in particular are said to create a finer edge than North American stones due to the unique binding process of the stone. A non-slip rubber base is included with this stone. It is a compact stone making it ideal for small knives, scissors, hobby knives etc. The size also makes it a good choice for those who value portability, such as caterers, campers and anglers.
