Japanese Double-Sided Amakusa Whetstone for Sickle (Kama) & Garden Shears

Compact double‑sided whetstone

Compact double-sided whetstone for maintaining sickles (kama), hedge/garden shears and other small garden blades. Comfortable hand‑held format with a hanging cord for easy storage.

Keep your garden tools sharp and efficient with this Japanese double-sided “Amakusa” whetstone, designed for the maintenance of sickles (kama), garden/hedge shears, and similar cutting tools. Its compact size makes it easy to use by hand—ideal both in the workshop and out in the garden.

The stone features two working sides for a simple step-by-step sharpening routine:

• use the coarser side to refresh a dull edge or correct minor wear,
• finish with the finer side to smooth and refine the cutting edge for cleaner cuts.

A practical hanging cord keeps the stone within reach and easy to store.

Suitable for:

• sickles (kama)
• garden shears / hedge shears
• pruning and utility garden blades (small steel blades)

How to use

1. Use with water: splash water on the stone (or soak briefly) and keep the surface wet while sharpening.
2. Start on the coarser side if the blade is very dull; otherwise start on the finer side.
3. Maintain a steady sharpening angle and use smooth, controlled strokes.
4. Rinse the stone after use, dry it thoroughly, and store in a dry place.
