Suehiro HW5G DADA Diamond Whetstone for Surface Restoration #150 / #500

This is a brand new product just released by Suehiro in Q4 2020, specifically designed for surface flattening of whetstones. Up to now the gold standard for flattening stones is the Atoma Diamond Plate, which is probably still the best option but it's fairly costly to acquire both an Atoma #140 and a #600. This HW5G DADA combo diamond stone solves the problem by providing a solution specifically designed for whetstone flattening while lowering the overall cost. Made with double-sided #150/#500 electrodeposited diamond, the super-strong surface restores dented whetstone surface immediately.

The HW5G is capable of quick surface restoration for coarse and fine finishing whetstones, even hard ones such as non-absorbent Gokumyo, Kouseki, DEBADO series or ones that easily get clogged. Use the coarse #150 Diamond side to flatten the whetstone surface quickly. Then, polish with the #500 Diamond side to get an ideal whetstone surface instantly.

This product can also be used for sharpening super hard blades by applying oil to the diamond stone surface.
