The Suehiro Ouka line of stones is one of the best among mid-range whetstones. We are talking about medium hard stones, which quickly create a paste 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 faster 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 Ouka #3000 sharpening stone sharpens knives effectively and quickly by creating a paste, that eases achieving an even edge. Excellent finishing stone for burr removal and polishing. We recommend using Suehiro Rika #5000 to continue the process.

We tested this stone on the ZDP-189 Honyaki Yanagiba, which is very demanding for sharpening. The result? The stone passed the test with flying colors! This stone also enhances the contrast between Hagane and Jigane and is therefore suitable for working on kasumi finishes. It will excel at sharpening single-sided knives and grinding, but can, naturally, be used for normal sharpening.

Soak for at least 5 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. Also included is a Nagura stone (dressing stone), a harder, smaller stone to clean steel particles from the stone surface while creating a paste.

Best 3000 grit stone for this price range

I bought this stone and as a knife sharpener, after testing different steels on it including high treated knives up to 65HRC, and comparing it to other stones, i come to the concluzion that this is one of the fastest steel cutter, great feedback, nice finish on the blades and best in this price range.
Compaired to Naniwa Professional 3000(Chosera), this Ouka 3000 offers a much more uniform finish on the laminated/san-mai blades, specially for the japanese ones where Kasumi finish on Kireha is needed.
Great stone, worths every penny!
