Sehiro SS1 Flattening Stone – Keep Your Whetstones True
–––
An essential maintenance tool for anyone sharpening on water stones. The Sehiro SS1 flattening stone is designed to restore a perfectly level surface, ensuring consistent contact between blade and stone — critical for accurate, repeatable sharpening.
Using a hard, coarse abrasive, it quickly removes high spots and uneven wear without excessive material loss. This keeps your stones cutting evenly and prevents inconsistencies that can affect edge geometry.
Regular flattening not only improves sharpening performance but also extends the life of your whetstones, making it a fundamental part of any sharpening setup.
Simple, effective, and built for regular use — a tool that keeps your stones working as they should.
