Suehiro situated in Niigata, Japan is famous for their sharpening stones not only in Japan and the rest of the world but in fact produce Europe's #1 selling water stones. Their sharpening stones have an international reputation for their fast cutting surface and long lasting use. Made from durable ceramic particles, that act as the ideal abrasive for high carbon steel and tool steel alloys.
It is very important that when we use our bonsai tools to perform any cutting action, they should be as sharp as possible. In fact it is best that you sharpen your tools every time you start to work on a new tree. Failure to work with sharp tools means you will need to use unnecessary force to make cuts, the live tissue or cambium may be damaged which will retard the healing process and if severely blunt you may even damage your tools by attempting to cut with them.

I bought this whetstone for my boyfriend who is a regular client at Bonsai Tree. He is very happy with his gift and has used it to sharpen our kitchen knives as well. I'd just like to thank James for assisting me in ensuring that my boyfriend had no idea where the item originated from. He very kindly removed any mention of Bonsai Tree on the packaging or delivery details. Absolutely wonderful company to deal with. Thank you.
