Suehiro New Cerax 3000 (CR-3000)

The 1000 stone gives you an edge. The 3000 makes it clean. It refines the scratches from the coarse stone into something that cuts smoothly, and unless you are chasing a mirror polish, this is where most kitchen knives should stop. For meat knives especially: the 3000 leaves a slightly toothy edge that bites into the surface instead of sliding.

The LADJA team uses it for:

• Refining the edge after the 1000
• Finishing meat knives, for that toothy bite
• A quick touch-up on a knife that is almost sharp
