Common grit levels in #japanese tradition: Arato – a coarse stone (200 to 800 grit), Nakato – middle stone ( 800 to 1500 ) and Shigeto – a finishing stone (1500 and up). Having a range of grits in a premium-quality #whetstone #set allows users to progress from shaping the blade to refining and polishing it.
