We're restocking some store staples this month, and it's hard to pick a favourite! The Hayabusa Blue Super will seriously impress, they have a fully rounded spine and choil and are a dream to use. The long awaited Takamura SG2 are back (only in Santoku), and there's a heap more to choose from. Enjoy!

If you asked: "Give me a stone that isn't too soft, isn't too hard, has great feedback, is splash and go, and has its own base but won't cost me an arm and a leg,", we're reaching for the Shapton Kuromaku every time.
Somewhat reminiscent of the Chosera (albeit with a slightly thinner stone), the Kuromaku are a splash and go dream. Softer than the Glass HR, harder than Suehiro Cerax, they represent excellent value.
Grit: #1000 (Use in the early stages of sharpening)
Weight: 668g
Dimensions: 210 x 70 x 15mm
