Gesshin 8000 Ceramic Stone

This is a smaller sized 1000/3000 combo stone, designed for chefs who need a portable sharpening option. Though it's not a splash-and-go stone, it does soak rather quickly and provides good cutting speed and tactile feedback. Though the finishing stone is only 3000 grit, it leaves a great polish and a very nice toothy edge appropriate for many kitchen tasks. The 3000 side also makes a great touch-up stone.

This diamond stone set includes 1 1000 grit diamond stone, 1 stone holder, and 1 nagura for use with diamond stones.  These stones are true splash-and-go stones that work well on every type of steel we have tried.  One of the things we enjoy about these stones when compared to similar diamond stones is that they provide better tactile feedback in use.  They are extremely slow to dish (i've flattened mine about once per year of use) and leave smooth and even finishes.  This 1000 grit stone is fast enough to take over most of your coarse stone duties (aside from major repairs).  The nagura should be used from time to time to help expose fresh abrasive on the stone surface.  They can also be used to wear down high spots to help level the stone.
