Suehiro has been making synthetic whetstones in Niigata since 1 April 1967, when Kenkichi Okumura founded Okumura Whetstone Industry and began selling stones under the Suehiro trademark. A sister company, Suehiro Corporation, was later formed and the two have since merged. The business is still run by the Okumura family and is based in Niigata City.
Suehiro believes that anyone can learn to sharpen, and that a sharp blade makes cooking and woodworking safer and more enjoyable. Its ranges include the CERAX ceramic stones, Gokumyo, Koseki and DEBADO, covering everything from coarse repair to a fine polish. Suehiro stones are known for cutting quickly, giving clear feedback and being easy to use for beginners and professionals alike.

For those who want the finest long-lasting sharpness, this strop from Suehiro is an excellent tool for finishing.
Even finishing whetstones cannot smoothen the very small rough edges on a kitchen blade. This is where the knife strop shows its true value. By polishing the edge of the blade against this leather strap, you will be able to cleanly take off the micro burrs (the small ridges) and bring your knife blade to its full luster.
The procedure is the same as using a whetstone for deburring. To use, simply spread the green stick abrasive (enclosed) on the back side of the leather and sharpen before finishing with the front side.
