Suehiro nagura stone for polishing whetstones - Grains 5000

Suehiro is a Japanese specialist in professional sharpening. This manufacturer offers a whole selection of sharpening stones, to help you maintain the cutting edge of your favorite knives. It also offers useful sharpening accessories, such as Nagura stones!

This Nagura Suehiro NGR-50 stone features a #5000 grit.

This makes it suitable for sharpening stones with grits between #3000 and #8000.

It has two functions:

- Create a sharpening "slurry" on your whetstone. Indeed, when you sharpen a knife on a stone, the friction of the materials creates a kind of liquid, which helps to sharpen your knife, increasing the stone's efficiency. The Nagura stone allows you to create this slurry before placing the knife on your stone. As a result, you save time and increase efficiency.

- Polish the surface of your main stone after use. This keeps its surface clean, and thus its effectiveness over the long term.

The Nagura stone should be soaked for 5 to 10 minutes before use. To use it on your stone, you can move it up and down, or in small circles.

Important: the stone's dimensions and weight may vary slightly, which is normal :)
