Rubbed against the stone before or during sharpening, it breaks down the surface and builds the fine abrasive paste that transforms how the whetstone performs — accelerating burr formation, improving the feel and feedback of the sharpening stroke, and producing the slurry that polishes the kireha, the bevel of the blade, as work progresses. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNaniwa's nagura stones require no soaking — a splash of water is all that is needed before use.
