Suehiro Japanese Whetstone - Cerax #1000 Grit (3030 The White Brick)

The Suehiro Japanese Whetstone - Cerax #1000 Grit (3030 The White Brick) is the largest in the Cerax range, with dimensions akin to a brick. It's a medium-grade stone, and the #1000 grit has become a staple for many sharpeners due to its finish and cutting power. This makes it perfect for medium sharpening of professional use special blades and large size kitchen knives, such as 'Deba', 'Yanagiba', and 'Gyutou' knives. This stone is best used after the #800 grit Cerax.

The Cerax Waterstone by Suehiro Niigata Japan is renowned for its fast cutting surface, longevity, and high-quality reputation. The stone holds its shape well and cuts quickly, enabling you to achieve a burr in a reasonable number of strokes. It comes with a small Nagura stone, which is used for unclogging the stone if particle material becomes embedded during the sharpening process.

To maintain the Suehiro Cerax series of stones and keep their surface flat for long life, a lapping plate is recommended. We suggest either the Jende Industries Glass Lapping Plate, Shapton Diamond Glass Lapping Plate, or the Shapton NAORU cast iron lapping system for this process. Proper maintenance ensures the stone's optimal performance and longevity.
