Kaiden Amber #3000 Stone

3000 grit shiageto from Kaiden
In contrast to the 3000 snow white from Kaiden, the 3000 Amber has a softer feel when sharpening with a slightly looser grit. This has been achieved by a secret manufacturing step that adds tiny air holes throughout the stone along with a "special sauce" additional grit that works synergistically with the aluminium oxide. The results are a quicker slurry that makes thinning and kataba work a lot more pleasurable. For a mirror finish follow up with an 8000 synthetic stone for best results.
Kaiden Ceramic Sharpening Stones
The Kaiden range of ceramic sharpening stones are laden with rich amounts of aluminium oxide grit for superior cutting power. They are labouriously hand moulded and pressed with 100t of pressure before being dried and high fired over a 36-hour period. These stones are for the true professional and although good for ryoba style edges they excel for kataba style blades.
We strongly recommend this stone for those with intermediate to advanced sharpening skills only.
- Super fast cutting power
- Long lasting
- Excellent feedback during the sharpening process (crisp burrs)
- Great end results- i.e sharp blades
- Instructions: Soak the 3000 grit stone a good 20 minutes before use or until the bubbles stop rising. Keep adding water as you go throughout the sharpening process.
N.B. Please do not soak this stone for long periods as it will degrade the stone. We recommend using this stone in conjunction with a sturdy rubber base.
