Its compact size and non-slip rubber base make it ideal for professionals and outdoor enthusiasts who demand precision and portability in maintaining knives, scissors, and other cutting tools. ## Description Double sided water stone from one of the finest manufacturers of sharpening stones in Japan, Suehiro. The standard 1000 grit side is for sharpening, while the fine 3000 grit side is for finishing. Proper maintenance of a knife, scissors and any cutting tool is very important. A sharp, well honed edge is essential for a clean cut. There are a number of ways to sharpen knives and tools, but water stones are the preferred method, because the user has absolute control during the sharpening process. Japanese whetstones in particular are said to produce a finer edge than North American stones due to the unique bonding process of the stone during manufacturing. A non-slip rubber base is included with this stone. This is a compact stone, making it ideal for small knives, scissors, hobby knives, etc. The size also makes it a good choice for those who value portability, such as caterers, campers and fishermen. Review: Great for use in the kitchen. - Great for use in the kitchen. This is my first wet stone. I googled/youtubed for about 20 minutes and went to work. Now all my knives are really sharp and my wife loves it. I got a Wusthof for Christmas and was thinking of using this to keep it sharp when it needed but didn't want to learn on my new $170 knife so I started on the $25 costco multi colored set we were looking at replacing. I got that cheap set super sharp and it didn't take much learning. I even had one fillet knife that had gotten ruined by a quick sharpener with V you pull the knife through. Chipped the blade so bad it almost looked serrated. Mind you with 1,000 grit it did take some time to fix that much damage but when I was done it was as sharp as new or better. Oddly enough my wife doesn't like the Wusthof knife because she thinks its too heavy and since I now keep all of our old knifes sharp she just keeps using them and doesn't want new ones now. When you use a wet stone make sure you soak it first for 10-20 minutes minimum and keep the surface wet. My only complaint about this stone is that I want a bigger one. I did purchase a 400-800 grit stone that is for doing some rough work or reshaping before sharpening and it is bigger/wider which keeps the stone from wanting to roll. Overall this is a great stone for a great price. Review: So who knew you could get kitchen knives this sharp? - Working with really sharp kitchen knives is a pleasure! You are less apt to cut yourself and there is less scatter meaning less mess. I have been using a Chefs Choice sharpener for years. When it crapped out I decided to give this stone a shot. There is a spectacular difference in that the whetstone is considerably better (although admittedly more time consuming). I have a couple of paring knives literally razor sharp - and I am not exaggerating. I have not had the same result with by chef's knife. It's a technique that one has to learn but there are numerous YouTube videos to help you out. I'm getting there and I AM A KLUTZ. If I can - you can. Instructions are included with the stone. If you have a microscope handy and can read Japanese you're in luck. On a more serious note, though, the first time you soak the stone the labels will come off. Make a note of which stone is which. The blue side is the 1,000 grit. After considering a number of similar items I chose this for its grit selection. The 1,000/3,000 grit combo seems about right. Overall I wish it were a tad larger. I have also found that soaking a good two hours yields the best result. ## Features - Double-sided water stone for sharpening knives, scissors and other cutting tools - Standard 1000 grit side for sharpening; fine 3000 grit side for finishing - Compact size makes it ideal for catering, camping, fishing, etc. - Non-slip rubber base included - Made in Japan ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00IJZ6ZZM | | Best Sellers Rank | #264,480 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #466 in Sharpening Stones | | Brand | Suehiro | | Brand Name | Suehiro | | Color | Gray | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 425 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00846682028976 | | Grit Type | Fine | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 7.2"L x 2.48"W x 1.06"H | | Item Weight | 9.28 ounces | | Manufacturer | Kotobuki | | Manufacturer Part Number | 440-952 | | Material | Stone | | Material Type | Stone | | Model Number | 440-952 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 7.2"L x 2.48"W x 1.06"H | | UPC | 846682028976 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Suehiro - **Color:** Gray - **Grit Type:** Fine - **Item Weight:** 9.28 ounces - **Manufacturer:** Kotobuki - **Material:** Stone - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Number of Packs:** 1 - **Product Dimensions:** 7.2"L x 2.48"W x 1.06"H - **Unit Count:** 1 Count ## Images ![Suehiro Japanese Sharpening Stone, Dual-sided #1000 and #3000 Grit with Rubber Base, Compact - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71zRhh1ydtL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What are the dimensions of the stone?** A: It is smaller than your average whetstone. Not including the plastic stand it comes with, the stone itself measures 5"L x 1 1/2"W x 1"H (A little more precise in metric units, it measures 12.7 x 3.9 x 2.4 cm). The #3000 half is 1/2" tall and the #1000 is 1/2" tall. The two are laminated together to give you the 1" total height.I actually haven't tried it out yet, so I can't say anything about the comfort or functionality of using this size. I imagine it would be perfect for smaller utility and paring knives. As well, my hope is that the smaller size would encourage more precision and focus on my part when sharpening larger knives--something I see as a good thing. **Q: Which side is which? The **&%$ labels came off in the first soak.** A: The blue side is the 1000 grit and the white is the 3000 grit. I wrote it down and taped it to the side of my soaking vessel. Just a tip ;) **Q: color of 3000 grit stone?** A: Cream color. **Q: Are these grits good for blades that have an established edge, but just need some sharpening?** A: This is very good, for an established edge. Smaller size, great for portability. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for use in the kitchen. *by R***N on January 15, 2015* Great for use in the kitchen. This is my first wet stone.

I'm disappointed that it has a small chip on 3000 stone on the side you use, and has a chip where it is bonded to the 1000 stone. I'm going to keep it because I don't want to mess with the return process. I seen other reviews where others experienced chipped or broken and took a chance. I will most likely not buy this brand. Stone looks and functions very nice. So quality appears fine, just weak on quality control or could be in the handling process. ## Frequently Bought Together - Suehiro Japanese Sharpening Stone, Dual-sided #1000 and #3000 Grit with Rubber Base, Compact - SHARPAL 196N ANGLE PYRAMID Whetstone Knife Blade Sharpener Sharpening Stone Angle Guide 2-Pack, 4 Universal Angles-14Β°, 17Β°, 20Β°, 25Β° - Suehiro Grit #5000 'Rika 5000-DN Without Base' Finishing Whetstone --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/3531566-suehiro-japanese-sharpening-stone-dual-sided-1000-and-3000-grit](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/3531566-suehiro-japanese-sharpening-stone-dual-sided-1000-and-3000-grit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-10-23*
