Hozan Tomoe Mokutodai Wooden Sharpening Stand with Rubber Mat IK-029

- Supervised by knife chef Oiri - [An angle-aware whetstone stand with rubber mat] *Whetstone sold separately When sharpening a knife, we faced head-on the most common worry: "I can't tell the angle." Its greatest feature is a structure that lets you check the edge angle (40 degrees on one side / 20 degrees on the other). Angles are built into the four corners of the stand in advance, so simply resting the knife against them lets you confirm the reference sharpening angle both visually and by feel - an original angle-assist design. A strong non-slip rubber mat also keeps it from sliding. The stand and basin are made of hiba, a very strong wood with antibacterial, insect-repellent, and water-resistant properties, and are given a waterproof coating so they do not readily absorb the sharpening slurry.
