Suehiro Japanese dressing stone for coarse and medium grit stones - 100 grit

In fact, over time, sharpening stones tend to become hollow, making them difficult to use and even damaging your knives during the sharpening process. That's why a flattening stone is an indispensable accessory for anyone who uses whetstones! It ensures that you can continue to use your favorite stone for a long time to come, and thus keep your knives sharp.

This Suehiro stone has a grain of 100, so its surface is highly abrasive. You'll feel it when you touch it - it's rough.

It should be used like a standard composite stone, i.e. soaked in water for a few minutes before use, just like the stone about to be reworked.

How to use it:

Place the grooved side against the stone to be resurfaced, then work back and forth, gradually filing down your main stone. It's important to note that, due to its high abrasive power, it may leave small marks on your stone (this is a normal process since, after all, its purpose is to file). To remove them, simply use its smooth side on the surface of your stone, and it will be impeccable.

Its dimensions make it easy to use on standard stones, so you won't need to make any great movements or exertions for it to be effective.

During the whole process, you should keep a small container of water handy, so that you can apply it to the stones in small dabs, to facilitate the movement.

Once you've finished using it, you can leave it to air-dry (without putting it in direct sunlight).
