Naniwa Traditional Stone #1000

1000 grit budget Nakato from Naniwa

Used as the second step in the sharpening process or to refine the bevel. Can also be used for minor repair work. Soft abrasive with a smooth cutting action. This is an excellent stone for the price but for faster cutting action you might want to consider the Naniwa PRO.

Naniwa Traditional Stones

This series of sharpening stones from Naniwa are made from the same high quality grit as the Naniwa PRO series but made from softer resin with less grit for those on a budget.

These stones are made from tightly packed resin bonded grit and have the following advantages:

• Pre-soaking required for only 10 minutes
• Faster cutting than other budget stones
• Long lasting

N.B. These stones do not have a plastic bases like our previous ranges. You can purchase a sturdy rubber base here

Sharpening Stones – SOAKING TYPE

Do not drop as the stone will crack.

Do not leave under water for long periods of time as the stone will deteriorate and break apart.

Soak just prior to use until the stone is waterlogged and the bubbles stop rising.

Rinse and leave to dry after use.

Do not store unless fully dry.

Flatten your stone regularly using a stone flattener for consistent results.
