A finishing stone for knives that already have a working edge. The 2000 grit refines and polishes a sharpened edge to a clean, smooth finish that cuts more cleanly and stays sharper for longer. Use it after a 1000 grit stone to take a working blade to its next level, or as routine maintenance to keep an already-sharp knife performing at its best.
Made in Seki, Japan by Sumikama Cutlery, the same factory behind Kasumi knives. Seki has been Japan's centre of blade making for over 700 years, and the same ceramic stone technology used to keep Sumikama's high-carbon VG-10 blades in working order is what's in this stone.
The marbled finish gives the stone its name and makes it visually distinctive from the standard Kasumi range. Suited to all kitchen knives, including stainless steel European blades and harder Japanese steels. The non-slip rubber base holds the stone steady on the bench while you work. Presented in a Kasumi gift box.
This is a refinement stone, not a repair stone. If your knife is blunt or chipped, start with the Kasumi 600/1000 Combination Whetstone first.
How to use
- Soak the stone in water for 10 to 15 minutes before use, until air bubbles stop rising
- Place on the rubber base on a stable bench
- Hold the blade at a 15 to 20 degree angle and work each side evenly with light pressure
- Wipe the blade clean after sharpening
- Rinse and air-dry the stone before storing
