To obtain a truly sharp edge you must hand sharpen your Japanese knives with Japanese water stones. The process of sharpening on a stone is not unlike sanding wood; the whetstone scratches away material from the blade in stages to shape and polish the metal to an acute edge. Water stones come in a broad range of grits from very rough to fine for this purpose.
