The 1200 grit sits between coarse repair stones and fine finishing stones, making it the right tool for routine sharpening without removing more material than necessary. Use it to bring back a knife that's gone dull from regular use, or as the working stone in a multi-stage sharpening progression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eMade 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe marbled finish gives the stone its name and makes it visually distinctive from the standard Kasumi range. Suited to all kitchen knives, Japanese and European, including harder Japanese steels that need a ceramic stone rather than a softer natural one. The non-slip rubber base holds the stone steady on the bench while you work.
