Suehiro Japanese Dual Stone Whetstone - New Cerax #3000/1000 Grit (CR-3800)

The Suehiro Japanese Dual Stone Whetstone - New Cerax #3000/1000 Grit (CR-3800) is an ideal sharpening tool suitable for maintaining already sharp edges. It offers two sides with distinct grits - #1000 for efficient removal of scratches left by lower grit stones and #3000 for fine finishing, particularly beneficial for high-quality knives that require a finer edge.

The Cerax Waterstone, hailing from Suehiro Niigata Japan, is celebrated for its speedy cutting surface, enduring performance, and consistent, high-quality results. Despite holding its shape well and cutting quickly, these stones require minimal soaking and are not excessively absorbent. A short soaking duration of a few minutes suffices, with occasional splashes of water during use maintaining their smooth operation.

The size 3 model standard whetstone is fitting for a broad spectrum of knives and cutting tools. The stone is securely mounted to a supporting plate that fits into the base unit, which conveniently functions as a stone holder during use and as a storage unit afterwards. Included with each Cerax stone is a small Nagura stone, which is effective for unclogging embedded particle material during the sharpening process.

After frequent use, the Suehiro Cerax series of stones may start to develop a dish. To maintain the stones and ensure their long life, we recommend using a lapping plate to keep the surface flat. For this process, consider the Jende Industries Glass Lapping Plate, Shapton Diamond Glass Lapping Plate, or the Shapton NAORU cast iron lapping system. Proper maintenance guarantees optimal performance and prolongs the lifespan of the stones.
