Nowadays, we often hear people say “I can’t sharpen a knife” or “I would buy a new one if the knife becomes dull.” Also, cooking methods are becoming easier and only require minimum cooking tools. It is reflected in the good sales of simple sharpeners. Even if people want to cook with a very sharp knife, they might think that sharpening a knife with a whetstone is complicated and difficult, or even scared of handling knives. However, to whet knives is neither difficult nor dangerous. If you have one versatile whetstone at home, you can whet not only cooking knives but also various kinds of knives and blades you have. Even from the perspective of cherishing what you use, we’d highly recommend using whetstones.
“Cutting” is necessary for our daily lives. Suehiro Corporation always try to produce versatile products, which can be used by everyone from expert users to homemakers. Above all, we make our best effort to deliver the quality products, which can be used by our customers safely.
