A Paean to the Cerax / Ouka 3k

[M1k3]

I “needed” a 3k and a 6k stone. So I just bought the Cerax 3k, King ice bear 4K and 6k, Arashiyama 6k, and Kitayama 8k. Will be at least the third time I have said I will never need another stone. I really hope I don’t get into jnats.

How are you doing on cutting boards?

Ahaha. You saw the onion cutting video I posted. No good cutting board. It’s on the list. I use a pretty old plastic one usually but have lately been using a cutting board I use for camping.

I didn't pay attention. Was just suggesting another money grabber

Guy and gals. Listen up. If you want a money grabber- take up scuba diving. Makes knives and stones seem cheap.

My girlfriend has a cutting board on her list for my birthday present. So I can’t buy one for myself or she will get mad.

I will share my thoughts on the Cerax once I have used it.

Scuba diving is worse than a boat?

Should I be soaking the Cerax? A couple distributors say do not soak.

It'll work perfectly with a 10 or 15 min soak. You can permasoak it if you find convenient (I do), but it acts the same as just soaking for 10 mins.

I have a Rika 3K and a Naniwa Pro 3K, any reasons for me to pick one of these up? I think I remember this thing being a great synth kasumi stone per the grandiose thread no?

I was under the impression that the Rika was 5k and the Ouka 3k, though might be wrong.

If you have a Rika 3k, then I imagine it’s the same stone as the Ouka / Cerax 3k... (?)

There is no Rika 3K. The Rika refers to the 5K, but both Ouka and Rika belong to the 'whetstone for professional use' line. Link to the Suehiro website.

Ohhhh I see, I bought it a while back at cktg and it appears he has several stones called rikas.

In that case CKTG has misnamed them and it would seem you already have the Ouka 3k
