Spring-Loaded Japanese Whetstone Holder

This spring-loaded whetstone holder makes sharpening easier by locking your stone firmly in place with just a squeeze and release—no bolts or adjustments needed. Its two-point support keeps the stone level, and its black PVC resin body with fully stainless steel internal rods and hardware resists rust and holds up better than the rubber and plated components found in standard-style holders. It's made in Japan by a manufacturer with over 40 years of tool-making experience, known there simply as the "Marie."
