After trying a variety of stones, these are my favorite, and the workhorse of my sharpening kit. Eventually, I will have only kuromaku stones. The don't require soaking after intial setup, have a nice feel, work quickly, and are easy to flatten.
I was surprised how annoyed I was with the messy swarf left behind by diamond and oil stones. I prefer a stone that can easily be lubricated and washed with water.
i ordered the shapton kurumaku stones and somehow they arrived from japan to europe in like 4 days. thats amazing and the price for the stones and other stuff is just incredeble definetly buying from here againm
After 20+ years of using various brands of water stones, as well as natural water stones, I believe Shapton's Hanokuromaku Water stones are the best.
The cut fast, leave an excellent finish, and wear slowly.
These cut pretty fast and don’t need soaking before use. I just wet them down right before using. They also are slightly harder so don’t dish as fast as some others that I’ve had (King and Norton). Still need flattening just less often. Overall really happy with them, especially for a traveling kit.
Absolutely my favorite whetstones.
