#1000
Allow the #1000 grit Otani Kitayama whetstone to soak for at least five minutes before each use.   After a few minutes of sharpening dip again to keep stone sharpening efficeintly.

USES
Offers sharpening in a solid block stone.  Works superbly on stainless steel and high-carbon steel knives and tools. The audible feedback and tactile feel communicate to the sharpener progress being made between the stone and the knife.  They resist dishing well are an excellent choice for uraoshi sharpening (single edge knife and microbevels.
HOW TO USE
Do not soak this whetstone. Simply apply water on the surface when ready to use. Rinse and wipe dry with a hand towel when done, and allow air dry at room temp. Do not leave in water.  Wash the knife blade after using the stone to prevent reaction with the magnesium in the Kitayama stone.
#8000
The Kitayama #8000 is a highly refined polishing whetstone that outperforms many other pricier whetstones in the same grit range.  Many 8000 grit whetstones tend to feel a bit dull, and soft, but this whetstone still retains enough feedback to allow the sharpening to know what is happen with the knife.  The mirror-like finish quality is perfect for everyday and high-end commercial kitchen use.
USES
Offers sharpening in a solid block stone.  Works superbly on stainless steel and high-carbon steel knives and tools. The audible feedback and tactile feel communicate to the sharpener progress being made between the stone and the knife.  They resist dishing well are an excellent choice for uraoshi sharpening (single edge knife and microbevels.
OVERALL
Outstanding standard whetstone at a reasonable price for its top  quality. Provides sharpening akin to that experienced with a natural stone but offers greater consistency.  Cuts faster and better than similarly priced stones.  Grit #1000 feedback and tactile feel make Otani Kitayama whetstones one of the best you can buy. Otani Toishi  is one of the more artisanal manufacturers in Japan and a favorite whetstone maker of Kikusumi.
WHY NO BASE?
It is better to have no base so both top and bottom of the stone can be used which saves time flattening the stone.  The bases are not reused so become garbage which contributes to the environmental damage.  If you want a much better solution try the Kikusumi Hinoki Wood Whetstone holder.
HOW TO USE
Do not soak this whetstone. Simply apply water on the surface when ready to use. Rinse and wipe dry with a hand towel when done, and allow air dry at room temp. Do not leave in water.  Wash the knife blade after using the stone to prevent reaction with the magnesium in the Kitayama stone.
HOW TO LEVEL
With use, a synthetic stone will become slightly concave in the middle and, as a flat surface is necessary for sharpening, they need to be leveled out routinely with a stone fixer.
HOW TO CLEAN
We also conveniently include a Polishing/Fixing/Rust Eraser for maintenance of the stone surface such as removing metal bits and stains.  If the stone’s performance is slowing down, or seems to be diminishing, you can clean using a rust eraser, nagura stone, dressing stone, or a flattening plate. Be sure to clean the entire surface of the whetstone when using any of these methods to ensure even wear of the whetstone’s surface.
WHY WHETSTONES
To obtain a truly sharp edge, you must hand sharpen your Japanese knives with Japanese water stones. The process of sharpening on a stone is like sanding wood.  Each pass of the whetstone cuts away material from the blade .  Dividing the blade in stages allows the sharpener to shape and polish the metal to an acute edge. Water stones come in a broad range of grits, from very rough to fine, for this purpose. They are referred to as water stones as water is the lubricant adding the sharpening process.
