About this sharpening stone

The Kakuri Professional Grade Whetstone #5000 is designed for the critical finishing stage of sharpening. Positioned between medium grits and ultra-fine polishing stones, it refines edges to a clean, smooth sharpness that performs reliably in real-world use.

Manufactured in Japan using carefully selected abrasives, this stone focuses on balance—removing remaining burrs while preserving blade geometry. It is an essential step for anyone who values precision, control, and consistency in tool and knife maintenance.

Performance & use cases

This #5000 grit stone excels at refining edges after initial shaping has been completed. It smooths bevels, sharpens cutting edges, and prepares tools for demanding tasks without over-polishing or weakening the edge.

For woodworking tools such as chisels and plane irons, it improves surface quality and cutting control, especially during fine finishing work. For kitchen knives, it delivers a clean, polished edge that balances sharpness with durability—ideal for regular use rather than fragile, high-polish finishes.

In UAE workshops and kitchens, where dependable performance matters, this stone supports repeatable sharpening routines. Its uniform hardness ensures even abrasion across the blade, helping users achieve consistent results session after session, regardless of tool type.
