Chubo #8000 Fine Grit Sharpening Stone

Our line of high quality sharpening stones is made in collaboration with a respected manufacturer in Kyoto, Japan.  These medium-hard stones work well with all steel types including Aogami super and harder powdered blends like R2.  They are fast cutting, meaning you can sharpen quickly and effectively and require minimal flattening. This #8000 stone is a high grit polishing stone which is meant to complement a #4000 or #6000 stone. If you're looking for a very refined edge on your knife, this is the ideal stone to finish with. Dimensions: 205mm x 75mm x 25mm (8.1" x 3" x 1"H) Soak in water for 5 minutes before using.
