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.\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, including stainless steel European blades and harder Japanese steels. The non-slip rubber base holds the stone steady on the bench while you work.
