Suehiro GC-3 Kongou-to #180 Knife Sharpening Stone

Suehiro’s traditional sharpening stones are renowned for their exceptional performance and value, and this green carborundum coarse grit stone is no exception. The Suehiro GC-3 coarse stones play a crucial role in establishing the foundation for sharpening – whether thinning blades, repairing chips, or resetting bevels. This stone strikes the perfect balance, shedding fresh grit to maintain cutting power even on wear-resistant steels, while resisting excessive breakdown during intensive use. Designed for efficiency and durability, it requires soaking before use and may need frequent re-wetting during sharpening. A generous application of water is recommended to ensure optimal performance.
