Suehiro, founded in 1967 in Niigata, Japan, is renowned for producing high-quality synthetic and natural whetstones that outperform many competitors in durability and consistency. Stones from decades ago still sharpen as effectively today, thanks to precise manufacturing and excellent wear resistance.
Suehiro offers a comprehensive range:
Cerax series (#320 to #8000 grit) are medium-hard stones ideal for high-alloy steels.
Debado and Maido series cater to professionals and garden‑enthusiasts requiring fast-cutting and finishing options.
Gokumyo series includes ultra-fine 15K–20K grit stones for mirror polishing.
Suitable for beginners through pro users, Suehiro covers everything from coarse edge repair to fine finishing.
Suehiro recommends:
Coarse grit (60–240) for reshaping or repairing.
Medium grit (320–1500) for general sharpening.
Final and super-fine finishing (2000–20,000 grit) for a polished edge on tools, knives, or chisels.
Most stones require soaking/blending and occasional use of a Nagura stone to generate a sharpening slurry. Proper progression through grits yields superior edge quality.
