Naniwa Superstones
This series of sharpening stones from Naniwa have the words “[new ceramics] Fine sharpening taste as natural stone gives” proudly printed on each stone. After much head scratching and rigorous testing we are pretty sure it means they have a similar feel to quarried whetstone.
These stones are made from tightly packed resin bonded grit and have the following advantages:
- No pre soaking required - simply splash some water on the surface and start sharpening
- Faster cutting due the soft nature of the grit
- Longer lasting - about twice as long as regular stones
- Much less mess than “cement” type stones
The Naniwa Superstone series ranges from 220 to 12000 grit and are all made via the same resin bonded process to give a consistent “feel” through the sharpening process
