SUEHIRO Ouka 3000

Nice finishing stone for regular kitchen knives. Also have a Rika 5000 and it's very similar in terms of feeling (soft and creamy, makes some mud, good feedback). 3000 edge is very effective in the kitchen, used on a range of Japanese steels so far (SK4, AEB-L, AS). Will be my normal finishing stone i think.

My favourite 3000 stone! Fast, agresive, amazing tactile, audio, visual feedback, great price, great value. Even if it's a soaking stone i dont mind, i preffer it vs other makers. Also great for Kasumi finish. Cuts fast any steel!

Nice soaking stone. Cuts medium fast. It does load up a bit quick, so keep it clean and you will be very happy

Great stone. It's a soaking one so you'll have to be a little bit more patient than with the more expensive splash&goes. You'll be rewarded with a great feel on the stone and great feedback. And it cuts faaaast. On the downside it's a soft stone which will need a bit more maintenance than harder ones.
