Peter Nowlan Signature Ultimate Knife Sharpening Set

If you are a student or follower of Peter Nowlan onsocial media you will know that he is a popular and skilled full-time professional knife sharpener and knife sharpening teacher, based out of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

This is his recommended ultimate sharpening stone set, with everything you need to bring your knives to a screaming sharp edge. Later you can add to it or try different brands/grits, but these top-quality stones will let you sharpen just about any knife to a SUPER sharp edge with a fine finish, with minimal effort and frustration. Good quality stones, a good quality knife, and some practice will get you there!

Includes: Naniwa Chocera Professional 400 and 1000 grit stones, Naniwa Adjustable Universal Stone Holder, 140 grit Atoma diamond-coated plate (for lapping/flattening the stones), and the Naniwa Leather Strop.

Stones individually boxed, 21cmx7cm surface (8.25"x2.75"). 2cm thick. 

Note: Naniwa has re-branded these as Chocera Pro (yes, changing the spelling to Chocera with a "c" now) 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. The new packaging is now more eco-friendly all-cardboard as well, with no foam inside, and no plastic shrink-wrap on the outside.

Do NOT soak them, and do NOT leave them soaking in water while you use other stones... in use, just splash more water on the stone as needed instead of prolonged and repeated soakings, otherwise hairline cracks can appear over time. Please note that cracks are not covered under warranty... for the most part if they do occur, you can for sure just keep using the stone as normal. 

If you're not a regular user of your stones and only want them for occasional home use, you might want to consider the Naniwa Super Stones or Shapton Pro or Glass stones instead, as they are still very high quality but are more forgiving of the cycle of wet/dry and extreme temperature and humidity changes in our climate. The Pro Stones fare better with regular use and regular lapping to avoid potential problems with cracks forming.

Warranty: 90-day warranty against manufacturing defects.

Sorry, we cannot make substitutions for stones in this packages, nor can we accept returns on individual stones purchased from this or any other set. If you want to make your own set, please just order the items individually... we try to have great prices no matter what!
