Suehiro Ouka 3000 ceramic sharpening stone

The Suehiro Ouka 3000 is a fast, easy-to-use ceramic stone for sharpening and finishing cutting edges. It belongs to the same series as the legendary Rika 5000.

It is a “creamy” smooth stone that cuts steel quite quickly — ideal for finishing cutting edges, providing excellent feedback during sharpening. We recommend this stone for regular sharpening and finishing of knives, chisels, and planes. Sharpening can be continued on the Rika 5000 stone.

Suehiro stones from the Professional Series are currently among the best sharpening stones on the market. Suehiro stones are medium-hard and require a short, 5-10 minute soak before sharpening. Thanks to their high concentration of abrasive, they are perfect for sharpening even hard powder steels, such as ZDP-189, R2, and HAP-40. The stone is sold in a set with Nagura, a small, harder stone for cleaning the surface of the stone.

Suehiro is a renowned Japanese manufacturer of sharpening stones from Niigata Prefecture, with over 50 years of experience in the industry. Suehiro sharpening stones are made from the finest materials, which is why they are known for their exceptional durability – the properties of the stone will not change even 20 years after purchase.
