The Cerax line of stones is one of the best among mid-range whetstones. We are talking about medium hard stones, which quickly create a slurry during sharpening - the resulting grains, newly produced on the surface of the stone, contribute to the speed with which the knives are sharpened. As they form this paste faster, these stones also wear out a little quicker during the process of sharpening, so they will need to be flattened more often. They do not need to be soaked in water for a long time and can be used to sharpen any kind of steel, japanese or not.

The Suehiro combination sharpening stone  #1000/#3000 grit is an excellent stone for home sharpening use. It removes material very effectively, as it quickly creates a paste during sharpening to help, thus making the process easier. The next step is to use Suehiro Rika #5000 stone.

Soak for at least 10 minutes before use. As the stone wears out faster, regular flattening is essential. We recommend Atoma diamond sharpening stone 140 or Naniwa flattening stone.

This whetstone comes with a non-slip base stand for safer sharpening, preventing the stone from moving around.

Wears fast

I used the stone to sharpen 3 kitchen knives (Wusthof), 2 kitchen scissors, and a few pocket knives, but the 3000 side wears down so fast! My blades didn't have significant damages nor needed to be reshaped- all I did was sharpen the edge for a few minutes and the whetstone wore down more than a fourth of a centimeter by the end of the first day. I grew up sharpening knives on my parent's diamond whetstone, which doesn't wear almost at all compared to this whetstone!

It also came in chipped at the edge, probably due to the shipping company. I didn't mind any chips as the vast majority of the area of the stone was usable and by the end of the first day I couldn't tell that there were chips (again, due to wear). Overall, pretty good! Would probably need to buy the 3000 grit again by the time that side wears completely down, but sharpening knives for a casual cook is an infrequent endeavor so it won't be for a long while.

Hi there,

Urban from SharpEdge here, thank you so much for taking the time and writing us a review.

Suehiro stones are indeed slightly softer stones compared to same granulation stones for other Japanese manufacturers. Please note that 3000 grit stone is in this case meant as a finishing stone and not much material should be removed from the blade on this step. If you need to remove more material and apply stronger pressure, I would suggest staying a while longer on a 1000 grit stone. Compared to the diamond sharpening stones, whetstones wear out faster.

About the chips on the stone, there would be no problem to let us know about the damaged parcel. We would happily arrange a replacement.

I will also reach out to you via email.

All the best,
Urban
