The D-1085 Matsunaga Sun Tiger Water Whetstone 1200 (model D1085, 1085) is a Japanese-style water stone intended for sharpening knives. Here are some pros and cons to help you decide:
Pros:1. High-quality Japanese-made product, known for their durability and consistency.
2. Two-sided stone with 1000 and 1200 grit on either side, catering to a range of sharpening needs.
3. Flat and consistent surface for efficient and precise sharpening.
4. Soaks water easily, creating a slurry that effectively removes metal during the sharpening process.
5. Suitable for various types of knives, including kitchen knives, hunting knives, and Japanese knives.
Cons:1. Requires frequent soaking and honing before use, which can be time-consuming.
2. Needs regular flattening (stropping) to maintain its flat surface, which is an ongoing maintenance task.
3. The coarser side (1000 grit) may still take a significant amount of time to properly hone a dull blade.
4. Relatively expensive compared to some other sharpening tools, such as electric sharpeners.
5. Wet sharpening may not be ideal for everyone, as it can be messy and may require a dedicated area to avoid damaging other items.
In conclusion, the D-1085 Matsunaga Sun Tiger Water Whetstone 1200 is an excellent choice for those seeking a high-quality, Japanese-made water stone for knife sharpening. However, it may not be the best option for those who prefer a more straightforward, mess-free, or budget-friendly sharpening solution.
