Suehiro Super Fine 8000 Finishing Whetstone

The Suehiro G-8-DN 8000 Whetstone is a premium, super-fine finishing stone handcrafted in Japan for achieving a mirror-polished, razor-sharp edge. This #8000-grit soaking stone combines white aluminum oxide (WA) and green carborundum (GC) abrasives to deliver exceptional cutting feel, fast polishing action, and superior surface consistency. Simply soak the stone until bubbles stop before sharpening to ensure optimal performance. Its large surface—206 × 73 × 23 mm (8.1" × 2.9" × 0.9")—provides excellent stability for kitchen knives and fine cutlery. Each stone includes a cleaning (nagura) stone to help maintain a smooth, even surface and enhance slurry formation. Perfect for both Japanese and Western knives, the G-8-DN produces a refined, professional finish with every use.
