Suehiro Ouka 3000
The Suehiro Ouka 3000 is part of Suehiro’s professional line and is one of the fastest-wearing stones we carry. It’s particularly suited for harder steels, offering fast cutting and good feedback. The 3000 grit level serves as a finishing stone or a transitional step between 1000 and higher grits (5000–8000).
Due to its fast wear, regular flattening is necessary. Pair it with a Suehiro flattening stone. (Suehiro Flattening Stone LINK)
This vitrified stone requires soaking for 5–10 minutes before use. While it can be left in water, periodic drying is recommended.

I’ve needed a 3000 grit stone for ages (to put a bit of refinement on my German knives and as a better progression before using an 8000 grit on certain of the Japanese knives), but couldn’t find one locally… until I happened to come upon Kitchen Samurai online. Problem solved!, Suehiro are legendary for their excellence in Waterstones. The Ouka stone has a big following in the worldwide sharpening and knife making community…and for good reason! On Japanese knives it’s a necessary stone for developing a Kasumi finish. I’ll update my review once I’ve put this beauty through its paces!

I have been using the Naniwa chosera 800 to sharpen and its a brilliant stone and decided to try out the Suehiro ouka 3000 as my finishing stone and all i can say is…Wow! It took my sharpened knives to another level altogether..Im loving both these stones and think they a match made in heaven.
