Naniwa Traditional Stones

This series of sharpening stones from Naniwa are made from the same high quality grit as the PRO series but made from a softer resin with less grit for those on a budget.

These stones are made from tightly packed resin bonded grit and have the following advantages:

• Minimal pre soaking required
• Faster polishing than regular stones
• Long lasting
• Much less mess than “cement” type stones

N.B. These stones do not have a plastic bases like our previous ranges. You can purchase a sturdy rubber base here

Dimensions:

210mm (L) x 70mm (W) x 20mm (H) - stone dimension

Sharpening Stones – SOAKING TYPE

Do not drop as the stone will crack.

Do not leave under water for long periods of time as the stone will deteriorate and break apart.

Soak just prior to use until the stone is waterlogged and the bubbles stop rising.

Rinse and leave to dry after use.

Do not store unless fully dry.

Flatten your stone regularly using a stone flattener for consistent results.
