Nowadays, we often hear people say “I can’t sharpen a knife.” or “I would buy a new one if the knife becomes dull.” Also, cooking methods are becoming easier and only require minimum cooking tools. It is reflected in the good sales of simple sharpeners. Even if people want to cook with a very sharp knife, they might think that sharpening a knife with a whetstone is complicated and difficult, or even scared of handling knives. However, to whet knives is neither difficult nor dangerous. If you have one versatile whetstone at home, you can whet not only cooking knives but also various kinds of knives and blades you have. Even from the perspective of cherishing what you use, we’d highly recommend using whetstones.“Cutting” is necessary for our daily lives. Suehiro Corporation always try to produce versatile products, which can be used by everyone from expert users to homemakers. Above all, we make our best effort to deliver the quality products, which can be used by our customers safely.

Suehiro Japanese Whetstone - New Cerax #1000 Grit (CR-1000-B Large)
Suehiro Japanese Whetstone - New Cerax #1000 Grit (CR-1000-B Large)
The #1000 Cerax Water stone is perfectly suited to the beginning of the sharpening process where the blade is dulled but in good condition and heavy work is not required on the bevel. It is also suitable for beginning the sharpening process of a new blade, as long as the blade profile is close to the desired shape. It leaves a slightly cloudy finish, but the slurry of the #1000 stone can be worked on a piece of wood to act like a strop, which raises the finish to a good polish.
The #1000 Cerax Water stone by Suehiro Niigata Japan is renowned for its fast cutting surface and its longevity. Not only is it Europe's best selling water stone, it also has a very solid reputation in Japan and the rest of the world. Widely used across the woodworking and culinary professions; these stones are made from slow-wearing ceramic particles which act as the perfect abrasive for high carbon steel and tool steel alloy such as Vanadium and Chromium.
This stone has a large surface area and is perfect for the first stage in sharpening a new blade or a general maintenance for all your blades.
The housing is complete with rubber feet for safety, stability and ease when sharpening. With features to suit an array of uses, it is easy to see why the Cerax Water stone is a best seller.

I use the 3 piece Cerax Waterstones to keep my spoon carving sloyd knives and hook knives in peak condition. The stones are the perfect width a pleasure to use and I wouldn't be without them.
I originally ordered the complete kit which became out of stock. Lisa provided fantastic customer service and pointed me in the direction of this and the 6000 grit cerax stone.
I’ve just given a knife that I’ve been re- profiling a touch up on the 1000grit… wow! I’m very happy. Thanks guys!!
Excellent feedback, feel great to use and a great starting kit to get a mirror polish on your knives. Cleaning is easy too. Great soaking stones!
This is another outstanding Cerax stone, fantastic for dull or slightly damaged edges and used in conjunction with the Cerax 1000 & 5000 produces a fantastic result every time.
Its very easy to use, gives detailed instructions how to sharpen and how to maintain it, overall love the product.
Lovely stone. A joy to use. So much so I've purchased Cerax 800, 6000 and 800 from you. I'm improving my sharpening technique and these stones are helping.
Very Quality Set. Comes with included appropriate grit flattening stones. Bases haven't slipped once even while wet. Very Nice Set
I've been looking for some time for a replacement for my old King 320 grit waterstone. The Cerax had good reviews and I can see why. The stone performs very well considering it's price. The storage box doubles as a secure work base and bath for the initial soaking. Very clever design. JTA prices are very competitive and their service is excellent. Will definitely source more of the Cerax range from them. Peter K.
I purchased the set for sharpening the schools chisels and planes. I am very impressed with the quality of these stones for sharpening.
Ended up with incredibly sharp chisels. I had two in bad shape so using the 800 to try to improve e them was a bit of mistake, should have used a grinding wheel first to get the chips out. Great stones tho. Highly recommend getting a glass plate and sanding paper to
Keep the stones dead flat. Over All splendid item
Quality construction, hard wearing and a good mix of grits.
Great stone that provides great feedback and lasts forever, highly recommended.
Super fast and efficient service, and a great set of sharpening stones!

Hi Michael,
Excellent news that the set arrived quickly, we know you'll enjoy using the large-size stones. Wishing you many sharp edges and fine shavings!
Best regards from our workshop to yours,
The JTA Team
Very happy with this purchase. Arrived quicker than i anticipated. Very well wrapped, no way this sucker was getting broken in transit. First use was a dream. Micro bevel was as sharp as it was shiny. 100% would buy again
Totally in awe of the customer service...slight mix up with the order and fixed in a blink of an eye. The quality of the waterstone is apparent from when first you unwrap them. Now what to buy next???
This Stone is a Pleasure to use , it is a fast stone and loads up nicely giving a nice slurry to help with the sharpening process.
Might be on the soft side but to an advantage with the sharpening and feedback this 1000 gives .
Liked it so much i have the #320 & #3000.
Easy to use works great
Very good
These Cerax water stones do an awesome job of sharpening chisels and plane blades!
haven't received it in full yet
Good service and good product, super happy!!
The stone works very well. It’s cut fast as #320 should do. Parcel was delivered in two days, which was great. Previously I got the #3000 stone of the same make and it is also works perfectly. These stones are not required Nagura stones as they are easy releasing grain and slur start to form in just several strokes. The Cerax stones are not tolerate the excess of pressure applied on your tools/knives as they would “dish” out, but with reasonable pressure they work fantastic.
Prompt and trouble free delivery. Product well packaged and entirely as described; it is well designed, very tactile and a joy to use.
Very happy with product.
Sorry I think you may have the wrong person. I looked at your lovely things but dos not buy.
Cerax Waterstone #320 is an excellent product. I will rate it as 4 out of 5. As a matter of fact, I intend to get another one in the next month or so
