2000 Grit Naniwa Chosera Stones

These top-of-the line Chosera stones are exceptionally fast cutting waterstones with a firm, consistent feel, with no slipping, glazing, skidding, and a good sense of feedback on how the stone is working.

At our request, the factory is packaging these stones without bases to that they will fit in any existing sharpening jig you use, and so that you can easily use the both sides and the edge of the stone. We also think the stone will soak more evenly, and, more importantly, dry better. It is very important that the stones be dunked in water before use, and after use, be kept away from heat and sunlight so that they dry evenly. If they're not allowed to dry slowly, the stone may develop minor cracks in the surface.

8 1/4" x 2 3/4" (210 mm x 70 mm) and 1" (25 mm) thick. These are big thick stones which will last a long, long time. We understand these stones are not for everyone. But if you're looking for the finest artificial waterstones available on the market today, you will not be disappointed.
