The Morihei Hishiboshi Hi #1000 Whetstone is a premium, professional-grade medium-grit sharpening stone from Morihei, the renowned Tokyo-based knife and tool specialist with more than a century of history.
Combining natural stone powder with carefully formulated synthetic abrasives, the Hishiboshi Hi offers a unique sharpening experience that sits between the consistency of a synthetic stone and the distinctive tactile feedback of a natural stone. It produces a smooth, buttery feel on the blade while providing excellent feedback throughout the sharpening process.

The #4000 grit makes it an excellent fine finishing stone, ideal for refining and polishing an established edge, enhancing cutting performance and producing a smooth, refined edge with a clean finish. It is particularly well suited as the final stone in a sharpening progression or as a finishing step before moving to a higher-grit polishing stone.

The Hishiboshi Hi is also splash-and-go, requiring no soaking before use—simply wet the surface and begin sharpening. This makes it particularly convenient for professional sharpeners and daily kitchen-knife maintenance.
