The numbers in the title refer to the grit size, which indicates the coarseness of the stone’s surface. A lower number indicates a coarser texture for sharpening, while a higher number indicates a finer texture for polishing:
- #1000 Grit (Blue Side): A Medium grit used for the main sharpening phase. This side removes material to restore a dull edge and establish a sharp bevel.
- #6000 Grit (Yellow Side): A Fine grit used for finishing and polishing. This side smoothes the edge created by the #1000 side, resulting in a razor-sharp, mirror-like finish.
What's Included
- 1 x Suehiro New Cerax Dual-Grit Whetstone (#1000 / #6000)

Care Instructions
- Soak Before Use: This is a soaking stone. Submerge it in water for at least 5-10 minutes until bubbles stop rising before sharpening.
- Drying: After use, rinse the stone and allow it to air dry completely in a shaded area before storing it in the case. Do not dry in direct sunlight or with rapid heat, as this may cause cracking.
- Flattening: Over time, the stone will develop a concave shape (dishing). Use the included Nagura or a dedicated flattening stone to keep the surface flat.
