Suehiro Combination Stone 1000 / 3000

Your knife has stopped responding to the honing rod. That means the edge is gone and only a stone brings it back. If you do not want to buy a full set of stones before you know if you enjoy sharpening, this is where you start: 1000 grit on one side to set the edge, 3000 on the other to refine it.

It comes with an angled base and a small pond, so the counter stays dry.

The LADJA team uses it for:

• Bringing a dull knife back on the 1000 side
• Refining the edge on the 3000 side
• The monthly maintenance session for every knife in the block

"Which side first?" 1000 until you feel a burr along the whole edge. Then 3000 to take the burr off and polish. Then go cook something.
