Making Japanese whetstones

This is an interesting video about the production of Naniwa whetstones in Japan. I can't actually remember what brand I have (the labels have worn off), but they're pretty similar I think. I have some natural stones too, but the artificial ones are good (as far as I can tell!) and are easily flattened with each other (I have two 800s and a 1200 and they're similar enough to work together, and then any one of them is used to do the 5000).
