Naniwa Professional stones, formerly called Chosera are Naniwa’s top shelf series loved for their fast consistent finishes. These are excellent for wide and single bevel knives as well as double bevel.

This 2000 stone finishes very finely and is more in line being categorized with fine stones rather than medium stones given it’s bright finish. It provides an excellent surface to polish from and the edge provided by this stone is excellent for Japanese butchery knives such as deba or honesuki which require ‘bite’ and is also a great edge for many simpler Japanese stainless steels such as molybdenum stainless that can feel washed out quickly when sharpened at very fine polishes. Medium fine finishes have become a mainstay in our sharpening service for many knives and this stone is proving to be a great addition to our lineup.

Naniwa Professional stones have a high concentration of a very evenly graded grit bonded in a magnesia binder, they are on the boundary between a hard and soft stone leaning on the harder end.

Because magnesia binder can dissolve we recommend a short soak of 15 minutes only. The mud generated during sharpening will add cutting material when sharpening wide surfaces of single bevel knives or thinning wide bevel knives, during sharpening small amounts of water can be added to help adjust the sharpening feel
