S12000 Super Stone White 1 stone by Naniwa

The Naniwa Super Stones are exciting Japanese Waterstones for sharpening knives and tools. Like all waterstones, these stones require water, but unlike traditional Japanese Waterstones, they don`t require soaking ahead of time. To use these stones, just apply a bit of water to the surface and you`re ready to sharpen.

These stones sharpen very quickly. With many of the modern steel alloys, speed of sharpening can be an important factor when considering a sharpening stone. These work well on tough tool steels such as A2 or D2 and very hard stainless alloys popular in Japanese and western cutlery.

These stones are made with a resin bond, which allows for a higher level of abrasive particles compared with less expensive methods of stone bonding. The higher abrasive levels contribute to the speed of sharpening.
