Naniwa 400 grit Ceramic Waterstone

---

Size: (210x70x20 mm) (8.25x2.75x.80 in.)
This coarse stone is recommended for use in chip repair, flattening shinogi lines and things of this nature. As opposed to traditional waterstones in this grit range, this Naniwa 400 stays flat longer, and doesn't create excessive slurry. A favorite of mine for repair work.

Naniwa Large 24 Grit Flattening Stone

---

- Dimensions: 11.8 in x 5.9 in x 0.8 in
- 24 grit Coarse carbide stone
- Promotes maximum cutting for all grit sizes of whetstones.
- Produces extremely flat results on all water stones, ceramic or traditional. Flattener and stone should be wet before use. This large flattening stone comes with rubber feet and is designed to be laid flat in a sink bottom while you hold the stone and run it across the flattener. Extra coarse for fast cutting. We use these because of the high volume of hand sharpening. This cuts quickly, but can leave fine grooves in the higher grit stones, which should be smoothed with your dressing stone. For persons doing a more normal volume of sharpening, the large 220 grit provides the benefit of truer flat without the grooving, it just takes longer. (Most flattening stones are around 220 grit)

Naniwa 800 grit Ceramic Waterstone

---

Size:(210x70x20 mm) (8.25x2.75x.80 in.)
Naniwa Super Stones require no soaking, just a splash and go.
Whereas the 1000 grit is normally considered the starter stone for an undamaged knife, if you're doing a lot of sharpening and want to save time, the 800 is faster. You can then skip the 1000 and move directly to a 3000 grit. No need to soak the stone, just splash and go.

Naniwa 1000 grit Ceramic Waterstone

---

Size: (210x70x20 mm) (8.25x2.75x.80 in.)
Naniwa "Super Stones" require no soaking, just splash and go. The 1000 grit stone is used for establishing an edge on a dull knife. It will remove micro-pitting but any chips will require a more coarse stone. This is the average size used for sharpening a dull knife. For use on meats, you may want to continue sharpening with a higher grit but will work great on vegetables.

The Naniwa 12,000 Grit Super Stone is used as the final stage of sharpening. Generally speaking, a stone with this high grit is used with Traditional Japanese knives for polishing the shinogi line and edge. Many chefs will also increase the angle a couple degrees to put a very fine micro-bevel with this stone. Naniwa dressing stone is recommended to create slurry and clean particles that embed in high grit stones.

Naniwa Cleaning/Dressing Stone

---

This small hand-held stone is used for cleaning metal fragments, creating slurry and flattening small flaws. The higher grit stones (5000 and above) really benefit from a cleaning stone. Also called nagura or fixer. Higher grit stones have a harder bonding agent which causes the abrasives to release more slowly and to be more prone to "loading up" or collecting metal particulate. We recommended that you use a cleaning stone for these high grits. Splash and go, no soaking needed.

Dimensions: Height: 3.2 cm, Length:6.5 cm, Width: 4.7 cm

Naniwa Stone Holder

---

The Naniwa Stone Holder secures your stone while sharpening or flattening. It has good traction with the rubber mounts and sufficient weight to keep from moving around. Holds stones from 5.5 to 9 inches in length.
This is good quality stainless steel that won't rust out on you. We tested one leaving it in the water overnight and pulling it out in the daytime as we used it. Other models rusted on us within days. The Naniwa never rusted after two months, and the screw downs still move smoothly. Now, these shouldn't be left in the water and we're not suggesting that. But if it gets accidentally left in the soak tank, it's not going to be a problem. Weight: 627 gram Length: 29 cm Material: rubber and stainless steel
