Review on Suehiro CR 3800 Double Sided Grinding Serakkusu by Brandon Hilton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent "universal " sharpening stone.

The stone is flat and fairly easy to use. Comes with a well-designed stand with rubber feet that holds the stone while sharpening. It also comes with what I think is a leveling stone to level the whetstone back up if needed. I find 1000 and 3000 grit ideal for general touch up kitchen knives followed by a fairly fine finish. As this is my first water stone I find it quite comfortable and clean compared to stones that require oil. I use it freehand and find its length and width quite comfortable to use. I don't have enough space. Although I would advise anyone starting out to watch some tutorial videos on YouTube first. I find this easier to use on long bladed chef's knives than the Lansky sharpening system because I feel like I can sharpen more of the blade at once without having to resort to adjustment.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Out of fashion
