This Double sided water stone is from one of the finest manufacturers of sharpening stones in Japan, Suehiro. The standard 1000 grit side is for sharpening, while the fine 3000 grit side is for finishing. There are a number of ways to sharpen knives and tools, but water stones are the preferred method because the user has absolute control during the sharpening process. Japanese whetstones, in particular, are said to produce a finer edge than North American stones due to the unique bonding process of the stone during manufacturing. Â
