Debado S Series #3000 Whetstone (Made in Japan)

The Debado S Series #3000 is a Size 1, non-absorbent, splash-and-go whetstone designed for professionals who demand exceptional sharpening performance. Made one at a time with artisanal care in Niigata, Japan, this stone delivers superior sharpening feedback with a slick, consistent abrasive surface created by its natural sharpening mud.

Using a unique firing process, Debado stones are crafted to be hard, wear-resistant, and non-absorbent, allowing the surface to become perfectly slick with just a few drops of water. The #3000 grit provides an ideal balance between cutting power and fine polishing, making it excellent for refining the edge of high-quality kitchen knives.

Although designed for professional use, the Debado S Series offers impressive cost performance and is also perfectly suitable for home sharpening enthusiasts seeking a premium experience.
