The Kyotoyama ST #220 is a coarse Japanese sharpening stone selected for its strong cutting ability and efficiency in edge restoration work. Developed as an original specialized stone for sharpening tools and knives, it quickly corrects chips, reshapes blade profiles, and prepares edges before finer sharpening.

Thanks to its high abrasiveness, this stone is suitable for both kitchen knives and Japanese woodworking tools such as planes, chisels, and other sharp tools. Its ceramic structure provides consistent and effective cutting, particularly useful for significant corrective work.

Before use, the stone should be immersed in water for approximately 5 to 10 minutes to ensure good absorption. Its balanced format allows for stable and comfortable use for both enthusiasts and professional users.
