Sharpening Box Extra Short

A low, wide and sturdy sharpening box imported from Japan, making a uniquely sized kitchen sharpening station. The extra low height of this box works well for splash-and-go whetstones, as the water capacity is low. In particular, this box is suited for whetstones with plastic attachments, such as the Naniwa Chosera, as well as compact whetstone holders. 

The following items are recommended for use with this sharpening box:

• Marie Whetstone Holder. A favorite of the store, easy and quick to load, with zero slip. 
• Hasegawa Non-Slip Mat 400x200mm. An excellent non-slip mat to place under the box.
• Hasegawa Non-Slip Mat 250x150mm. A smaller sized mat that fits inside the box.

Overall, this sharpening box has a super low profile and works great if you don't rely on large amounts of water when sharpening. When I sharpen with this box, I use a spray bottle to moisten whetstones, as well as the Marie Whetstone Holder, which fits neatly inside, requiring no other attachments. When working as a chef, often I would need to quickly setup and sharpen my knives, but the sharpening kits I tried were either too big or too small, requiring space and/or cleanup I wanted to avoid. This box, along with the Tall Sharpening Box and Short Sharpening Box are what I believe to be a solution to this problem. And, with an attractive look, I don't mind storing this in or near my kitchen.
