What is a Whetstone?

A whetstone is an important tool for any gardener to keep in their tool shed or on their tool belt. Their name mimics their use, as with a whetstone you will need to wet the tool before you can use it to grind and sharpen your tools. 

Our 412 whetstone can be used across all of our Okatsune products. We recommend sharpening your tools when you notice they are not cutting as well, as the blades may have become blunt over the years.
