A good stone holder is one of the most underrated tools in a sharpening setup. Trying to sharpen on a stone that slides or tilts across the counter breaks your technique, wastes strokes, and leads to inconsistent results. The Suehiro Small Stone Holder solves that problem with a low-profile rubber holder that grips the counter firmly and accommodates nearly any stone size - including short, thin stones like the Shapton Glass series that standard holders struggle to hold securely. The rubber base grips counters and sinks without slipping and sits low enough that even heavily used, thin stones are held at a comfortable working angle.
Use it standalone on a counter or place it inside the Suehiro Sharpening Pond to keep your work area clean and mess-free during wet sharpening sessions. The anti-slip pad added to newer models provides additional stability. At this price it is an easy upgrade from sharpening on a folded towel - and the improvement in technique consistency is immediately noticeable. Works with stones from all major manufacturers including Naniwa, Shapton, Suehiro, Bester, King, and Atoma.
What Customers Are Saying: Six five-star reviews. Reviewers consistently praise the low profile that accommodates thin and well-used stones, the anti-slip base that keeps it firmly in place, and the versatility across all stone sizes. One reviewer uses it to hold DMT diamond plates for flattening as well as sharpening stones. Multiple reviewers note it works perfectly inside the Suehiro pond.
Care Instructions: Rinse after each sharpening session to remove swarf and stone residue. Dry before storing. Keep rubber components clean and free of stone slurry buildup. Store in a dry environment.

This is just what I needed & unlike my other stone holder, this one stays in place during use & works with any sized stone out there. My other one would not work with the smaller & irregular sized stones & it wouldn't work with anything larger than an 8 by 3 in stone.

Needed a small short depth holder for shapton like stones. Having it in two seperate pieces is great as I can now handle any length stone. In fairness I'm sure a solid holder would have an incremental better hold on a stone if it were designed to fit the holder, however my stones are waiting for their precision fit holder to be manufactured. This is used to hold me over. Nice solid and low deck height to allow full work on my blades. Great addition to my gear

If you are looking for an inexpensive and stable stone holder, look no further. Does need a non-slip pad underneath to keep from moving but that's easy! If this simple and ingenious design were executed in solid hard rubber instead of being hollowed out it would be perfect and worth paying more for, but as-is it does the job nicely at a great price..
