This handheld sharpener by Takeda is easy to use and sharpens knives quickly and effectively. Simply soak the stone for 30 seconds in water. Then, lay your knife flat on a cutting board placed diagonally with the blade edge just over the edge of the board. Simply, run the stone back and forth across the knife edge to regain your edge. The black side of the stone is a medium grit and the white is a fine grit. Flip the knife over to sharpen the other side for double edged knives. Grip the top of the stone when using, as the wood handle is to protect your wrist, not for gripping. Detailed diagrams and instructions are included in the package. Using this stone is quick, easy and there is no need to worry about the angle of the knife to the stone.

Makes it easier to maintain my takeda at work! Great handheld whetstone, it is a little tricky to get used to at first but with practice it does get easier overtime. You can find videos and forums about how to use this whetstone the proper way and safe way.
Versatile, easy to handle. Fast.
Perfect !
I got this for my Takeda knives. Product came exactly as described. I'm very happy. Thank you!
As expected ! Thank you
Perfect for my needs!
No brainer purchase if you own takeda knives!!
Excellent product. I use it to maintain a hamaguriba grind on my knives and it works like a charm.
Back and Forth and, Back and Forth and, Back and Forth…..
Consistency is a good word. And it’s the word that I would use to describe the products and the service that I have gotten from Chubo knives. The handheld sharpener feels more natural for me anyways and besides, what’s not to love about anything Takeda, made?
👍
I purchased this stone to sharpen my Takeda Nakiri for the first time. The stone is really easy to use and I was able to get a nice edge with it.
Works well and handy for travelling
