Naniwa Traditional Standard 1000

Naniwa Traditional Series is designed as high-quality sharpening stones at an affordable price. This series is popular both in households and professional kitchens in Japan and worldwide. Its dimensions and efficiency make it an ideal choice, especially for sharpening stainless steel knives.

Grit #1000 is used for sharpening and refining knives. If you have a dull knife with no blade damage, this can be your starting point for sharpening. Additionally, if you've noticed that your knife has lost its sharpness and "just isn't the same anymore," this stone can restore its edge to perfection in just a few strokes.

It is important to note that grit #1000 is considered medium-fine. It serves as the final sharpening stage for lower-quality and softer steels, while for higher-quality and harder steels, it is used as a transition before polishing with finer stones.

Dimensions: 210 x 70 x 20 mm
Weight: 610 g

Usage Instructions: Stones from the Naniwa Traditional Standard Series are soaking stones, meaning they need to be fully submerged in water for 10-15 minutes before use. This allows water to remain on the stone’s surface during sharpening, ensuring maximum efficiency.

After use, allow the stone to air dry at room temperature and avoid direct exposure to sunlight.

Note: These stones are fragile, so handle them carefully to prevent damage.
