Suehiro
When it comes to Japanese sharpening whetstones, Suehiro is one of the most established manufacturers out there. They are based in Niigata, Japan and the company’s roots trace back to 1967. Since then, they’ve built a loyal clientele among professional chefs and knife enthusiasts alike. Suehiro's philosophy focuses on managing the entire R&D and manufacturing process in-house to create synthetic stones that replicate, and in some ways surpass, the feedback and polishing properties of rare natural stones.
