The Knife Maintenance Bundle was designed to offer incredible value for money with a 1000/3000 grit whetstone with base, guide clip and nagura stone for achieving sharp edges on your knives, and a 10" black ceramic steel honing rod to maintain these edges between sharpening.
The high-grit ceramic honing rod is an essential tool for maintaining the sharpness of your Japanese knives.

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.
