Ikkyu Shin Nagura #3000 is a premium Japanese whetstone designed for edge refinement and finishing. Combining modern synthetic abrasives with natural Mikawa Nagura powder, it delivers rich abrasive mud, excellent feedback, and a sharpening experience inspired by traditional Japanese natural stones.
The #3000 grit is ideal after a #1000 or #2000 stone, refining the edge while improving cutting performance and overall sharpness. For many users, it serves as the perfect finishing stone for everyday kitchen knives.
One of the stone's standout features is the rich abrasive mud generated during sharpening. Combined with the natural Mikawa Nagura content, it provides smooth blade movement and exceptional tactile feedback. The sharpening feel is soft and natural, making long sharpening sessions highly enjoyable.
The stone is also well suited for producing a beautiful kasumi finish on knives with soft iron or mild steel cladding while leaving a keen and refined cutting edge.
As a Splash & Go whetstone, it requires no soaking before use. Simply add water and begin sharpening. It performs exceptionally well on steels such as Shirogami, Aogami, VG10, Ginsan, and SG2/R2.
