Suehiro Japanese Whetstone - NewCerax #1000 Grit (CR-1000-B Large)
The #1000 Cerax Water stone is perfectly suited to the beginning of the sharpening process where the blade is dulled but in good condition and heavy work is not required on the bevel. It is also suitable for beginning the sharpening process of a new blade, as long as the blade profile is close to the desired shape. It leaves a slightly cloudy finish, but the slurry of the #1000 stone can be worked on a piece of wood to act like a strop, which raises the finish to a good polish.
The #1000 Cerax Water stone is known for a fast cutting surface and longevity. These stones are made from slow-wearing ceramic particles which act as the perfect abrasive for high carbon steel and tool steel alloy such as Vanadium and Chromium.
The housing is complete with rubber feet for safety, stability and ease when sharpening.
