Naniwa Super-Stone Whetstone Sharpening Stone, 8000 grit

Naniwa Super Stone 8000 Grit Japanese Whetstone Sharpening Stone, NO Stand, 21cm x 7cm surface, 2cm thick.

An excellent super-fine stone for putting a highly polished edge on your edged tools, from knives to razors.

The Naniwa Super Stones are excellent whetstones, very reliable, forgiving, and not fragile. A GREAT choice for the beginner or casual home user who just wants good long-lasting stones that work great on a variety of knives. I use these SuperStone series at home and they're great. They're also easy to use: just splash-and-go, no need for soaking and in fact they should NOT be soaked.

Note: Naniwa has re-branded these (again) as "Naniwa Advance" for 2024. The stones are identical, just the branding/name and packaging has changed (again). You may receive the new or old packing as we receive and make the transition to new stock from the factory in Japan.

If you're wondering what the difference is between these and the Naniwa Chocera Pro series, these are a step down from the top of the line "Chocera Pro" which use a different bonding method for a somewhat nicer feel and faster cut, but at the expense of higher prices and more fragility. 

Note: This is a full 2cm thick stone. It has been brought to our attention that other vendors are importing the cheaper 1cm thick version and then not always specifying the thickness on their web sites. Those stones are cheaper, and being half as thick will be more prone to breaking and will not last nearly as long as these normal full-thickness stones! We do NOT and have never imported or sold those cheaper 1cm thick versions of these stones. Be sure to verify photos and part numbers... the S1- are the thin ones, the S2- are the thick ones.

Warranty: One-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
