Made one at a time with artisanal care, the whetstones for professionals in the popular DEBADO SNE Series have been improved. The series retains all the characteristics that make it an excellent choice in whetstones and incorporates the latest advances that result in greater ease of use.
The popular DEBADO SNE Series of professional-use whetstones, which possess superb sharpening qualities, and the DEBADO MD and LD series, have been jointly advanced to become non-absorbent. It is no longer necessary to soak these whetstones in water. Instead, with just a few drops of water sharpening can begin. In addition, the whetstones are more wear resistant and sturdy with improved plane retention. Efficient grinding and ease of handling are combined to set the standard for commercial-use whetstones.
Product Improvements
1. The degree of water absorption has been decreased, and just the slightest amount of water allows ease of use.
2. Grinding strength has been increased, and the sense of grinding sharply is greater than before.
3. The strength of the stone has been increased, adding to its resistance to wear.
The thickness of the stone has been reduced but the resistance to wear has been increased, giving the product a longer life than before. Additionally, the stone is non-absorbent and can be used for sharpening with just a little water. The usability and grinding strength have been upgraded as well.
