Cerax Combination Stone 1000/3000 Hosco TL-NC3800C

Description of Cerax-Hosco TL-IDH-3 Japanese Mixed Grit 1000/3000 Cerax-Hosco Stone

Uehiro is a small Japanese company that has been supplying excellent sharpening stones for 3 generations. The founder, Kenkichi Okumura, started with natural stones from his own quarry, achieving a recognized prestige in Japan. These years of experience in the field of natural stones made it possible for Mr. Okumura to continue with a range of excellent artificial sharpening stones.

The Cerax series is the best known range of the Suehiro company. The stones sold under this name have a medium/high hardness bond and are especially suitable not only for high alloy tool steels, but also for lower alloy carbon steels. Hard alloy steels (e.g. chrome/vanadium) require a stone with slow wear, as is the case with this Cerax 1000/3000.

Coarse-grained sharpening stones are suitable for wearing down a large amount of the tool steel to be sharpened, for repairing nicks and chips, modifying the angle of the cutting edge, removing rust, etc.

Fine-grained sharpening stones are used to obtain well-finished cutting edges.  

The base supplied with the stone provides additional stability and facilitates storage.

The Nagura stone that is also included is used for cleaning and roughing the surface of the stone, as well as for creating a fine polishing paste.

Before use, soak the stones in water for at least 10 minutes, it is not recommended to leave them permanently submerged in water.
