Miyagoshi is located in Kyoto, Japan. The company specializes in manufacturing highly efficient whetstones that remove metal at a rapid pace. The stone grips the steel in an exemplary way, almost like rubber, and you really feel how it eats through the steel.

It is a soaking stone and we recommend keeping the stone in water for 10 minutes before use. We have rigorously tested the stones for a year where we left them in water for a couple of months without negative consequences.
