It is necessary to regularly repair it by smoothing it with a \"surface straightening whetstone.\"\u003cbr\u003e\n If the blade is chipped, a coarse whetstone is required, but usually a medium whetstone is sufficient.\u003cbr\u003e\n When sharpening knives in the kitchen, place the whetstone on a wet cloth. Be careful not to move the whetstone.\u003cbr\u003e\n ●If the whetstone is absorbent, fill a basin with water and leave it there for about 20 minutes until no more air bubbles appear. If the whetstone is non-water-soluble, you can continue to use it as is.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n [notice]\u003cbr\u003e\n ●When sharpening a knife, a sticky mud will appear on the surface of the whetstone. This mud is necessary to sharpen the knife properly and create a sharp blade. Do not wash the mud off with water, but add water little by little on top of the mud while sharpening.\u003cbr\u003e\n ●If you sharpen a knife at a steep angle, the edge will become blunt, making future maintenance difficult. Make it a habit to sharpen your knife in the correct way.\u003cbr\u003e\n ●Do not use excessive force when sharpening a knife. Using excessive force may cause your hand to shake and you may be injured by the blade.\u003cbr\u003e\n ●Please keep the angle of the blade constant. If there is any shaking, it may damage the blade.\u003cbr\u003e\n ●Please be careful as your fingers may rub against the whetstone and cause abrasions.\u003cbr\u003e\n ●For detailed instructions on use, please refer to the instruction manual included with the product. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/image.rakuten.co.jp\/kougeishop\/cabinet\/tadafusa\/tadafusa130007_1.jpg\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/image.rakuten.co.jp\/kougeishop\/cabinet\/tadafusa\/tadafusa130007_2.jpg\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/image.rakuten.co.jp\/kougeishop\/cabinet\/tadafusa\/tadafusa130007_3.jpg\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/image.rakuten.co.jp\/kougeishop\/cabinet\/tadafusa\/tadafusa_logo2.gif\" alt=\"Free\" width=\"100\"\u003e\n [Tadafusa Knife Workshop]\n Tadafusa was founded in 1948 in Sanjo City, Niigata Prefecture, known as a town of blacksmiths, and has been committed to making knives by hand with care since its founding, producing knives for home and professional use, as well as soba-kiri knives, on a daily basis.

In this land, which also inspired the legend of 'Yamata no Orochi', a family of blacksmiths has been making blades for generations.

It is said that \"wakashi\" relies entirely on the craftsman's experience, as temperature control for heating and the strength of hammering are very difficult to manage. If the temperature is too high, the steel will melt; if too little force is applied, it will peel apart; if too much force is applied, it will stick too much.
