Majin Japanese Ceramic #5000 Sharpening Whetstone
Majin’s Japanese-made #5000 grit stone is where sharp turns into refined. Designed for final edge finishing and light touch-ups, it delivers a smooth, controlled polish that enhances both cutting performance and edge feel without overdoing it.
Crafted from ultra-dense, high-hardness ceramic, this stone maintains excellent flatness even with extended use — consistent feedback stroke after stroke. After a quick soak and a few light passes, your edge transitions from cleanly sharp to crisp, highly refined, and near-mirror polished.
The #5000 grit excels on both stainless and carbon steels, including harder Japanese blades, bringing out clarity and bite while preserving edge stability. Its wide, fast yet controlled surface lets you work efficiently while staying precise — perfect as the final step after coarser stones.
The included case isn’t just for protection: it doubles as a solid non-slip base, keeping the stone secure during use and making storage clean and simple afterward.
Compact, dependable, and purpose-built for finishing, this #5000 grit stone is the ideal last stop in your sharpening progression — whether you’re maintaining a daily driver or perfecting a freshly sharpened edge.
Size: 230mm × 70mm × 15mm
IMPORTANT: This stone must be soaked in clean water for 15 minutes before use.
