Gesshin 3000 Magnesia Stone

Excellent finishing stone

My favorite finishing stone for stainless steels, but I still prefer to finish my carbons on a Gesshin synthetic natural. Leaves an edge with lots of bite. Resists loading shockingly well, cuts fast, and feels silky in use. Extremely similar in feel and performance to the Gesshin s&g 1500. I wish all the lacquered corners were a bit more chamfered ootb, but that's a small gripe.

Great Touch up stone!

I use this stone as a finishing stone for gyutos and knives I like a more toothy edge on. Also works great for a touch up stone. I also like that it is much thicker than the average sharpening stone.

Amazing final stone.

Perfect for steels that can't take a more refined edge. For practical prep work the edge has just enough bite for thick skinned vegetables. It also leaves a nice polished finish.
