Gokumyo DGL-4

The finish is firm and silky, as is typical with Gokumyo products.
Ideal for very large, long knives.

The largest in the Gokumyo whetstone series has rubber holder which enables stable whetting performance even for large knives. Medium whetstones perform similarly to finishing whetstones, while coarse whetstones perform similarly to medium. The results are finer than the listed granularity and have a long-lasting sharpness.

Usage Instructions:

This well-made whetstone has a dense concentration of ultra-fine air pockets and can be used immediately by lightly wetting it. Before using the whetstone, either briefly submerge it in water, or wet the surface with your hand, then begin sharpening. Under normal circumstances (summer or winter temperature variations, immersion in water), there is no risk of a loss of quality. It can be used in the same manner as conventional (kiln-fired) whetstones.
* To maintain the stone’s ability to sharpen, please clean the whetstone with water and restore the surface with the restoration stone included in the set after each use.
