Kasumi Marble Whetstone 2000 Grit, 185 x 62 x 24mm

A finishing stone designed for knives that already possess a working edge. The 2000 grit smooths and polishes a sharpened edge to achieve a clean, smooth finish that enhances cutting efficiency and maintains sharpness for an extended period. Utilize it following a 1000 grit stone to elevate a working blade, or for regular upkeep to ensure an already-sharp knife operates at its peak performance.

Manufactured in Seki, Japan by Sumikama Cutlery, the same establishment that produces Kasumi knives. Seki has been the heart of Japan's blade crafting for more than 700 years, and the ceramic stone technology employed to maintain Sumikama's high-carbon VG-10 blades is utilized in this stone as well.

The marbled appearance gives the stone its name and distinguishes it visually from the standard Kasumi collection. It is suitable for all kitchen knives, including stainless steel European blades and tougher Japanese steels. The non-slip rubber base ensures the stone remains stable on the work surface while in use. It comes presented in a Kasumi gift box.

This is a refinement stone, not intended for repairs. If your knife is dull or has chips, begin with the Kasumi 600/1000 Combination Whetstone first.

How to use
