The cutting speed of this whetstone is also surprising, since it is among the fastest cutting 8K whetstone Ryky has tested. At #8000 grit, it is entering the mirror polishing range.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor those looking for such a finish, it is possible to jump from a 1K sharpening whetstone to an 8K, without any problems. Or add a 3K in-between for easier transition. Carry on the Rika lineage within the Suehiro professional family, the \"Super Fine\" Whetstone #8000 offers great durability, reliability and sharpening satisfaction. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade in Japan\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpec:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Niigata, Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrit No.: #8000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Soaking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Snow White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimension: 206 x 73 x 23mm (8.11 x 2.87 x 0.91\")\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 620g (21.8oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Ceramic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrit Material: White Aluminum Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBase: Without Base (W-8-DN)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes a Nagura for adjusting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNote: Suehiro no longer print the label directly on the surface of the stone. It now comes with a label made of cellophane film.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJapanese Name: 末広「超仕上用」\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePre-soak for between 5-10 minutes before use, and apply water on surface during sharpening when needed.  Rinse and wipe dry with a hand towel when done, and allow air dry at room temp.
