he KITAYAMA #8000 is a premium fine-grit finishing whetstone designed to produce a superbly polished, razor-sharp edge.
Made through a resinoid bonding process, it delivers a soft, buttery sharpening feel and remarkable control — ideal for achieving a perfect final edge.

The KITAYAMA #8000 generates a rich, smooth slurry that enhances polishing performance and leaves a lustrous mirror finish on the blade.
It’s especially effective for high-carbon and stainless steel knives, providing an elegant cutting edge with minimal effort.
Stable, consistent, and easy to maintain — a finishing stone trusted by professional sharpeners and chefs alike.

For best results, lightly wet the surface or sharpen under gentle running water to maintain optimal smoothness.
