Review: Great water stone, brief soak and it acts like a splash-and-go, fine finishing stone for knives - The Suehiro family of whetstones/water stones has several brands. My favorite water stone is the Suehiro Debado 1000 grit, a splash and go type that needs no more than a 5-minute soak and it is ready to use. If I am sharpening a Japanese knife or a good quality German knife (e.g., Zwillig by Henkel), I like to go a step farther than 1000 grit. This Ouka 3000 grit stone fits that bill perfectly. The stone stays quite flat for multiple sharpenings. Of course, over time it gets cupped, and eventually it will need lapping (flattening). But the stone is quite hard, so it behaves well. It also provides good feedback during sharpening. Not too soft, not too hard, not mushy at all. I like the fact that it will not build up a layer of metal from the generated swarf (metal removed) during sharpening. Some of my other water stones get a fine shiny metal layer on the stone surface during sharpening. This layer inhibits the stone's effectiveness until the metal is removed by rubbing it on my lapping plate. This Ouka 3000-35 stone is somewhat small, being about 7.25 inches long and about 2.5 inches wide, but that is a convenient size for most knives. I purchased a larger version (about 8 inch x 3 inch) elsewhere on the Internet, but I don't see the larger version at desertcart. You would use the Ouka 3000-35 on a stone holder, or you can buy this same stone mounted on a holder for about the same price. Search desertcart for SUEHIRO Whetstone Finishing Stone No.3003-S #3000. For those who want their knives to be polished further, I recommend the Suehiro Rika 5000 grit, which is available on desertcart. the Rika 5000 is sold either mounted to a base or as the stone only. I personally prefer without the base, but I also have an adjustable stone holder.
Review: I love this stone - I would like to preface with I have limited experience with whetstones, as just a couple months ago, I came off of diamond plates. However I do love this stone, I honestly don't know that it's true to grit, assuming that the cerax 1k and king 1k are, this seems a bit coarser and fast cutting for its grit rating, 2k-2500?? Maybe? As it's the only 3k whetstone I've used, I don't have a whole lot to base it on, but I touch up my knives on this stone every week and it has great feel, cuts fast and leaves a pretty nice finish for a 3k stone, it's not dishing fast, ive used it regularly on a 58-59 rockwell 14c28n, and a n690 61-62 rockwell, as well as a couple cheaper, softer carbon steel knives and have had great results, I have had it perma soaking since I got it, until about a week ago, I let it set out to dry and yesterday I soaked for 15 min before use, it works either way, honestly I couldn't tell much of a difference...great stone, I strongly recommend it
