Sharpening Japanese stone Suehiro Cerax 8080 (8000 grit)
Suehiro Co., Ltd is one of the most successful and dynamic sharpening stone manufacturers in Japan. Despite the fact that its products are firmly held in the middle price range in the abrasive market, these stones are preferred by most professionals as their main working sharpening stones due to the excellent price / quality ratio of these products.
Suehiro CERAX stones are water-based, only clean cold water can be used as a coolant.

A bunch of Suehiro CERAX stones is quite soft, but nevertheless, the bar holds the geometry well and is slightly salted. Suehiro CERAX stones can be leveled in any convenient and affordable way (on glass with silicon carbide powder, on slabs of various materials, using special leveling stones). However, since Suehiro CERAX 8000 grit stones have a fairly soft bond and fine grain, the most acceptable method to smooth the surface of the stone seems to be smoothing on glass with water on the stone's own slurry. Before any use of the stone, including leveling, it should be soaked for 10-15 minutes in clean, cold water.
