Suehiro #1000/#3000 Combination Cerax Waterstone

The Cerax combination water stone range offers accessible all-round solutions for honing and sharpening edged tools. Manufactured by Suehiro in Niigata Japan, Cerax stones are renowned for their fast cutting surface and longevity.

The short step between grits on this #1000/#3000 stone makes it easy to move between the two, achieving a well honed and polished edged. The #1000 stone is ideal for touching up blades that have dulled through general use.  The #3000 stone will put a polish on already tuned edges for improved sharpness.

Suehiro's Cerax stones are made from slow-wearing ceramic particles packed inside durable binders that are capable of abrading both high carbon steel and hard tool steels, including chromium and vanadium alloys.

For best results, soak each stone for 5-10 minutes before use and allow to dry afterwards. Do not soak stones as prolonged immersion in water can cause the binder to deteriorate.
