This stone makes a nice slurry which helps during sharpening. I really like the feedback of the stone. It is softer than a Naniwa or shapton.

Very good knife at very reasonable price, sharp and well made

Very good and cheap knife, fast shipping

Gets sharper and holds an edge better than my old VG10 santoku. It is ground with a thinner profile, making it a more efficient slicer. They sent me the exact knife that was in the picture. Shipped quickly. I am very happy with this purchase.

I bought suehiro stones and this store have a good selection at reasonable price. Fully recommend. This knife is also very well ground and it is a good cutter.

Fantastic product, a high quality craftsmanship. Mr. Nishida is a top level knife maker!
Service and communication with a seller is also excellent.

A very good knife. I have some expensive stainless steel, but this carbon steel knife is actually sharper, easier to sharp, and retain sharpness better than more expensive knifes. Geometry came little bit wrong (too thick and didnt keep a correct form of the edge), but if you enjoy knifes, you should have some sharpening stone to correct geometry from time to time. It took me 5 minutes on the #240, 5 minutes on #800, 5 minutes #1200 and finally 5 minutes on shapton glass #2000 to have razor sharp knife. Im actually extremely happy with the purchase, considering the price and the excellent knife it is
