CERAX is a well-known and respected brand of traditional grinding stones. This #1000 grit stone is one of the best semi-abrasive stones. A minimum of 20 minutes of immersion is recommended, but I usually use this with a 2-minute bath and always add water if needed. So you can start using it very quickly. You can try this stone with several different amounts of water and get very different results.
Grit: #1000
Long: 205 mm
Wide: 73 mm
Thick: 23 mm
NOTE!
This whetstone is a so-called semi-soaking stone. It works best after 5-10 minutes of soaking. Do not store the stone in a basin of water. After sharpening, immediately wipe the stone clean with a towel. This will give the stone a clean look and start the drying process. Place the stone to dry in a position where it does not touch a solid surface. For example, place the stone on top of a pencil. Allow the stone to dry slowly, without additional heating. Do not place the stone in direct sunlight. Do not allow the stone to freeze when wet. It takes more than 24 hours to dry. Store the stone protected from dents, for example, in its box.

In my experience, this is the best 1000grid sharpening stone for my Aogami Super carbon nakiri

A követ nekem is ajánlották, összehasonlítási alapom nincs. Hengerelt acél késen is próbáltam már és úgy is tökéletesen élezett.

If someone is looking for a true whetstone, I really recommend it! First contact with water is about 20 min., feedback while sharpening is amazing.

I guess this stone needs no introduction. It's one of the best 1000 grit stones. Personally I use two 1000 grit stones, the Naniwa Chosera and this Cerax. I cannot tell which is "the best". The Cerax needs a little less soaking than the Naniwa but that's it. Both are amazing stones. Seriously. I absolutely love the feeling when I sharpen the knife. They have exactly the "grip" that you need to create a good sharp edge.

It is a softer stone, with excellent feedback and relatively good speed. If you prefer a harder surface, consider something like a Shapton. Otherwise, it is an excellent stone. It feels like a 2000 grit stone sometimes, rather than 1000.
