Suehiro 220 grit (SKG-23) is a quality original product from Suehiro (Japan) at an economical price. The SKG series strikes the right balance between cost and work surface size and is suitable for sharpening most knives, especially standard kitchen knives. 

The stones are intended mainly for household use such as sharpening kitchen knives and other household cutting tools. Like most traditional Waterstones, these abrasives are recommended to be soaked in water before use (sharpening, leveling the work surface). Suehiro 220 grit stone (SKG-23) is a green stone, coarse grained (average grain size is about 60 microns), works very aggressively and quickly. Designed for roughing operations, rough elimination of cutting edge defects, regrinding, initial formation of leads. It absorbs water well, soak for 10 minutes before use. The abrasive grain of all Suehiro SKG stones is aluminum oxide. The bond is complex, based on magnesia, so these stones are sensitive to prolonged exposure to water. They should not be left in water for a long time and must be stored in a cool, dry place. Suehiro SKG series stones are without a doubt the best and statistically the most used abrasives for home use, which can sharpen knives of any hardness, as well as sharpen any cutting tool.
