class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"active\" id=\"tab-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gesshin Jinzo Aoto (synthetic aoto) is a very soft medium grit stone designed to leave a very nice, smooth, even finish on wide bevel and single bevel knives, while providing great contrast between the hagane (core steel) and jigane (cladding).  People often go to natural stones for this kind of finish, but this synthetic stone offers the best-looking finish I have seen from a synthetic stone with the greatest ease (keep in mind that this is not a finishing stone... its a medium grit stone, so there may be some visible scratch pattern... however, it is often very smooth and uniform).  The key to using this stone is working up mud.  Because it is very soft, it is very muddy.  Even just a little bit of sharpening will create a large amount of mud.  The more mud you can use, and the less pressure you sharpen with, the better your results will be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis stone also happens to be great for very hard and wear-resistant steels.  Because of its softness, it releases a lot of fresh abrasive very quickly, thus helping the cutting speed.  We especially recommend this as a great medium grit stone for honyaki knives and similar types of steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause this stone is very soft, it is important to try and use the entire surface of the stone more evenly.  Also, you may find it necessary to flatten a bit more than harder stones.  The finish this stone leaves is worth it though.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis stone can be stored in water, but please be careful when drying it out, as that is the most delicate time for the stone.  It should be allowed to dry in cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, so as to dry slowly and evenly.  For soaking, this stone works best with 5 minutes of soaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli

Gesshin 6000s is a bit softer feeling, and a lot more muddy.  It is a very fast cutting stone, even on wear resistant steels... faster than our other Gesshin 6000.  It leaves a semi-bright mirror-like finish, though the aesthetic finish is a bit less bright and smooth than our blue speckled Gesshin 6000.  This stone has a creamy, yet connected feel, and works well on both double and single bevel knives, in terms of ease of use.  Think of this as a lower grit version of our Gesshin 8000.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli

class=\"active\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe diamond 300A stone is a 300 grit diamond stone.  Unlike diamond plates, these stones are constructed in a manner more similar to normal waterstones.  The top ~5mm of the stone is composed of a hard binding agent with diamond abrasive mixed in.  This is then attached to a taller base, such that the whole item together is about the same size as many of the other stones we sell.  Unlike some diamond stones that use metal or aluminum bases, this base is a lightweight, water resistant plastic, which I have found to be lighter and more convenient to use and care for than other bases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith regard to the stone, we have spent a significant amount of time working with the maker to find the right balance of cutting power, tactile feedback, and resistance to dishing.  Coarse stones tend to get the brunt of work when repairing knives or trying to get through sharpening more quickly.  This stone is rather fast cutting, though it is not particularly muddy.  I use this stone to remove deep 150 grit scratches, which it does with ease, rather quickly.  The scratch pattern it leaves is very consistent and even, and, again, unlike diamond plates with the abrasives plated onto the surface, these stones leave scratches with a depth more similar to regular sharpening stones.  Thanks to their diamond abrasive, they work well on all steel types, including some of the most hard and wear resistant steel.  They can even be used to sharpen ceramic knives.  As the binding agent is not porous, these stones are true splash and go stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis diamond stone does dish a bit faster than some other diamond stones, which is why we have it in a thicker stock, and also include a special flattening device for flattening these types of stones.  That being said, it still dishes very slowly, and after over a year of heavy use, I have worn through less than 20% of the stone.  As a comparison, in the same time frame, I was able to wear completely through a different type of diamond stone, and multiple ceramic and resinoid-based stones.  When using the flattening stone, work the high spots down by rubbing those areas in a circular motion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli

class=\"active\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gesshin™ 3000 Grit Sharpening Stone is a very different kind of stone from most that I have seen on the market.  These stones are entirely splash and go... they require no soak whatsoever.  Just a splash of water and they are ready to go.  In fact, its very important that these stones are not soaked, as they will fall apart.  You will notice that the stones are lacquered on all sides but one.  The non-lacquered surface is usable surface (the opposite side from where our logo is).  Because of the way these stones are bound together, they are a bit more brittle than the other stones we have in stock.  It is very important to round the corners of the stone before and after flattening to prevent chipping along the edges.  Initially, the stone surface will show some small pock marks and swirly textures.  It is not necessary to completely flatten this all out, though it will eventially flatten out over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe highly recommend flattening the stone before initial use.  The top layer of the stone needs to be removed for peak performance.  This can be done by either flattening or using the stone until that layer is gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis stone makes an excellent touch up stone.  It is fast cutting, slow to dish, and provides an excellent edge, with a solid amount of bite.  The polish this stone leaves also looks like a much higher grit than the 3000 grit would suggest (the edge is, however, clearly 3000 grit in feeling).  Though it does not leave contrast between hagane and jigane, it does leave a very consistent and even polished edge.  The alumina based abrasive works well on a wide variety of steels.  The surface of the stone will look as if it is loading up while sharpening (i.e. it becomes blackish), but as you add water, you will notice that the stone does not load as it cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab-detailed-specs\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrit Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e

Think of it as an investment into the wellbeing of the knife industry of Japan. Due to the rather long learning curve of knifemaking, whether that be forging or sharpening, it can take a while for a craftsman to become fully skilled.

These knives represent some of the highest level of craftsmanship and quality we have seen. The blacksmiths, sharpeners, and even lacquer-ware craftsmen are all amazingly skilled, as can clearly be seen by simply looking at them. In fact, all of the craftsmen are certified craftsmen or dentou-kougeishi (a very prestigious honor). These knives have amazing fit and finish, spectacular grinds, and amazing geometry. They are really thin behind the edge, have great distal taper, and wide bevels, making them easier to thin and sharpen. Unlike our higher end Gesshin Kagekiyo lines, these lacquer handles are far more simple, and the sayas that come with these are normal sayas instead of lacquered sayas.  The steels are also a bit more forgiving and easier to work with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab-detailed-specs\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnife Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sujihiki\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Special\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand Orientation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ambidextrous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab-measurements\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 140mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24.98mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18.94mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle to Tip Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 274mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeel to Tip Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 257mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine at Middle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.42mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine 1cm from the Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.91mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine at Handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.75mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine above Heel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.54mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness 1\/2 way between the Spine and Edge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.53mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Height at Heel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 37mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 142g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Baba Hamono","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":7073090629,"sku":"GKG270WSVGLSR","price":610.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/0120\/products\/resized_fu9a3500.jpeg?v=1444800348"},{"product_id":"gesshin-outdoor-390mm-white-2-masakari","title":"Gesshin Outdoor 390mm White #2 Masakari","description":"\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca class=\"active\" href=\"#tab-description\"\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab-detailed-specs\"\u003eDetailed Specs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab-measurements\"\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"active\" id=\"tab-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Gesshin Outdoor series is a result of our relationship with an extremely talented blacksmith who is focused entirely on his craft of making outdoor knives and nata (Japanese style hatchets).

The blacksmiths, sharpeners, and even lacquerware craftsmen are all amazingly skilled, as can clearly be seen by simply looking at them.

Think of it as an investment into the wellbeing of the knife industry of Japan. Due to the rather long learning curve of knifemaking, whether that be forging or sharpening, it can take a while for a craftsman to become fully skilled. Specific knives from the Gesshin Kagekiyo Stainless series, like this one, have some aesthetic blemishes or more noticeable high and low spots. Taking this into account, we have included an automatic discount of $60 at checkout to appease.

class=\"active\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gesshin™ 1500 Grit Sharpening Stone is a very different kind of stone from most that I have seen on the market.  These stones are entirely splash and go... they require no soak whatsoever.  Just a splash of water and they are ready to go.  In fact, its very important that these stones are not soaked, as they will fall apart.  You will notice that the stones are lacquered on all sides but one.  The non-lacquered surface is usable surface (the opposite side from where our logo is).  Because of the way these stones are bound together, they are a bit more brittle than the other stones we have in stock.  It is very important to round the corners of the stone before and after flattening to prevent chipping along the edges.  Initially, the stone surface will show some small pock marks and swirly textures.  It is not necessary to completely flatten this all out, though it will eventially flatten out over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe highly recommend flattening the stone before initial use.  The top layer of the stone needs to be removed for peak performance.  This can be done by either flattening or using the stone until that layer is gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis stone makes an excellent daily medium grit stone.  It is fast cutting, slow to dish, and provides an excellent edge, with a solid amount of bite.  The polish this stone leaves also looks like a much higher grit than the 1500 grit would suggest (the edge is, however, clearly 1500 grit in feeling).  Though it does not leave contrast between hagane and jigane, it does leave a very consistent and even polished edge.  The alumina based abrasive works well on a wide variety of steels.  The surface of the stone will look as if it is loading up while sharpening (i.e. it becomes blackish), but as you add water, you will notice that the stone does not load as it

id=\"tab-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gesshin™ 320 Grit Sharpening Stone is a very different kind of stone from most that I have seen on the market.  These stones are entirely splash and go... they require no soak whatsoever.  Just a splash of water and they are ready to go.  In fact, its very important that these stones are not soaked, as they will fall apart.  You will notice that the stones are lacquered on all sides but one.  The non-lacquered surface is usable surface (the opposite side from where our logo is).  Because of the way these stones are bound together, they are a bit more brittle than the other stones we have in stock.  It is very important to round the corners of the stone before and after flattening to prevent chipping along the edges.  Initially, the stone surface will show some small pock marks and swirly textures.  It is not necessary to completely flatten this all out, though it will eventually flatten out over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe highly recommend flattening the stone before initial use.  The top layer of the stone needs to be removed for peak performance.  This can be done by either flattening or using the stone until that layer is gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an excellent coarse stone.  Unlike many coarse stones, it dones't feel harsh during use.  It has a very smooth feel, and cuts rather quickly.  It is also slower dishing than most other coarse stones we carry, including our Gesshin 400, 400s, and 600.  The alumina based abrasive works well on a wide variety of steels.  The surface of the stone will look as if it is loading up while sharpening (i.e. it becomes blackish), but as you add water, you will notice that the stone does not load as it cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab-detailed-specs\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrit Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e
