Suehiro Ouka #3000 Grit Finishing Whetstone
The Suehiro Ouka #3000 is a premier professional-grade finishing stone designed to bridge the gap between medium sharpening and final polishing. Handcrafted in Niigata, Japan, this vitrified ceramic soaking stone is renowned for its silky-smooth feedback and fast cutting speed, making it an essential tool for chefs and sharpening enthusiasts alike.
Why Professionals Choose the Suehiro Ouka
- Refined Satin Finish: Delivers a beautiful 3k satin polish that enhances blade aesthetics and creates a "toothy" edge perfect for kitchen tasks.
- Superior Feedback: Unlike "glassy" synthetic stones, the Ouka provides exceptional tactile feedback, allowing you to feel the edge as you sharpen.
- Kasumi Enhancement: Specifically engineered to highlight the contrast between hard core steel (Hagane) and soft cladding (Jigane), ideal for traditional Japanese knives.
- Rapid Slurry Production: Its medium-soft bond quickly develops a rich abrasive paste (slurry) that facilitates faster metal removal and more uniform finishing.
Technical Specifications
- Grit Level: #3000 (Medium-Fine Finishing)
- Stone Material: Vitrified Ceramic (White Aluminum Oxide)
- Stone Dimensions: 8.11" x 2.87" x 0.91" (206mm x 73mm x 23mm)
- Weight: Approximately 2.0 lb (900g)
- JAN Code: 4966684010062

What’s in the Box?
- Suehiro Ouka #3000 Whetstone
- Non-Slip Base Stand: Provides a stable and safe platform for precision sharpening.
- Nagura Dressing Stone: A small cleaning stone used to maintain surface flatness and pre-condition the slurry.
Usage & Care
The Ouka is a soaking stone and should be submerged in clean water for 5–10 minutes before use. To maintain peak performance, regular flattening with a diamond plate or flattening stone is recommended. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight after air-drying.
