## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this stone work on a 9260 spring steel katana of high rockwell hardness? I've been using paper abrasives of silicone carbide but no dice.**
A: I have used this stone for finish sharpening on my shop tools and, my blue #2 steel kitchen knives. These have an HRC of about 60-62 and works quite well. So , I would say that this stone would work nicely on the 9260 blade. Just an FYI, the CERAX 1000 is also a good stone and I use that to do the bulk of my sharpening before hitting it with the 5000 stone.

**Q: is this stone a soaker stone? or splash and go?**
A: It is a soaking stone not a splash and go. But is a very nice smooth and fast stone for 5k. Takes 5 to 15 minutes to active the stone in water.

**Q: Is this the authentic stone?**
A: Hello
This Suehiro Rika is synthetic whetstone produced by Suehiro 
Best regards

**Q: Will this sharpen powdered steel at a Rockwell 65-66?**
A: I have used it to sharpen a chef knife with hap40 steel which I believe was at 65hrc with no issues never tried pm steels yet though hope that helps.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great sharpening stone, very good value.
  

*by E***H on Reviewed in Canada on 15 May 2023*

I use it to sharpen my straight razor. Soak the stone in water for about 10-20 minutes, flatten the surface and you're ready start honing. The price is better than the splash and go stones, and the results are as good. Good purchase.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great stone
  

*by S***L on Reviewed in Sweden on 9 February 2024*

This is my "first real" whetstone. I'm very impressed. Great response and paired with a 1000 grit stone as well as a leather strop you will get unbelievable sharpness! I'd recommend this stone as an amazing finishing stone.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
    Suave y fina.
  
  

*by S***O on Reviewed in Spain on 31 January 2023*

La piedra es suave y fina en el deslizamiento del cuchillo sobre ella. Pero es también efectiva.No es dura como son las Shapton Kuromaku, por lo que se desgasta más y se genera más barrillo. No obstante no es un desgaste alarmante.Tarda mucho en secarse, días de hecho. Es la piedra que más tarda en secarse de las que tengo (tengo pocas en realidad, pero me ha sorprendido lo que tarda en evaporar el agua que acumula) pienso que es debido a lo fino que es el grano ya que esta es la piedra más fina que tengo.Conozco pocas piedras y ninguna de esta finura, por lo que no puedo comparar, pero aconsejo esta piedra por las sensaciones que da y lo efectiva que es.Deja un bisel brillante.
