Suehiro is a Japanese specialist in professional sharpening stones. He is dedicated to developing practical, long-lasting stones that even novices can enjoy using, since stone sharpening can be impressive if it has never been done before.
Suehiro manages every stage in the manufacture of its stones, from research and development to production. Several phases follow one another:
- Mixing and stirring ingredients in large vats
- Press-molding each stone into a rectangle
- Allow shaped stones to dry for a short time
- Bake to set
- Carry out the final moulding by hand (a craftsman passes the stone over a grinding wheel to ensure a clean finish)
- Quality control before the stones are placed in the packaging
This maxi whetstone comes from the Cerax range, which includes stones fired at very high temperatures, making them more resistant to the risk of cracking. They are therefore durable, and also very easy to use.
Its #320 grit is considered very thick, so it is recommended for resharpening very dull blades.
Good to know:
The stone must be soaked 5 minutes before use. You can reapply water to the surface of the stone during sharpening, when you feel it's necessary. You can do this directly by hand, or with a pipette.
After a few moments' use, you'll notice a small colored sludge forming on the surface of the stone, and this is perfectly normal. This "sludge" is even essential, as it helps to sharpen the knife, so don't clean it during the process.
After use, you can rinse the surface and clean it with a soft brush. Wipe with a dry cloth, then leave to dry in a room at room temperature (keep out of direct sunlight for faster drying).
Note that this stone can be used on both sides.
Complementary accessories:
A small Nagura stone (7.2 x 1.7 x 0.9 cm) is supplied with the stone. This small, white model is used to create the famous mud that facilitates the stone's action. As already mentioned, this reinforces the abrasive power of the maxi stone, thus increasing its effectiveness.
A flexible silicone base is also supplied with the pack, enabling you to stabilize the maxi stone during use. It's removable, so you don't have to use it if you prefer to place the stone on a cloth, for example.
Please note: the dimensions of the stone may vary by a few millimetres, and its weight by a few grams - this is perfectly normal.
