Suehiro Rika 5000 Finishing Whetstone

The Suehiro Rika 5000 Whetstone is a premium finishing stone handcrafted in Japan, designed to bring your knives to a razor-sharp, mirror-polished edge. With its #5000 fine grit, this soaking stone refines and smooths edges after medium-grit sharpening, removing micro-burrs and enhancing cutting performance. The Rika’s ceramic composition delivers a smooth, consistent sharpening feel and forms a rich slurry for a superior finish. Before use, simply soak the stone for 5–10 minutes to achieve optimal results. Ideal for both professional chefs and home cooks, this finishing stone provides the perfect final step in any sharpening routine.
