Naniwa Super Stone 3,000

This is the new version of the Naniwa Super Stone with new packaging. They are made with a new resin bond and a tighter control of grit particle size. This bonding agent gives the stones two distinct advantages. First, the resin bond allows for a higher concentration of abrasive particles compared with less expensive methods of stone bonding. The higher abrasive levels contribute to the speed and ease of sharpening. Second, these resin bonded stones don't require soaking in water prior to use, just a sprinkle on the top is all that is needed. Do not soak these stones!

The Naniwa 3,000 Super Stone makes for a great final stone—a perfect step up from the 1,000 grit stone. It is also fine enough to be used prior to using a ultra fine 8,000 or 10,000 grit polishing stone.



For those seeking a silkier edge for their Western style knives, the Naniwa Super Stone 3,000 makes the perfect finishing stone. If you are sharpening Japanese knives, this stone will reduce your sharpening time when you move on to finer grit stones. This stone loads up very quickly and produces ultra smooth results.

If you are considering purchasing a set of Japanese waterstones, we highly recommend the Naniwa Super Stones as a great place to start your sharpening odyssey.

Do not forget that these are true splash-and-go type stones and must not be soaked under any circumstances. Just apply a slight sprinkle of water and you are ready to create that super edge you’ve been dreaming about!

They measure 210 mm x 70 mm x 20 mm.



We are happy to be the only US distributor of Naniwa Super Stones that come in the larger 20 mm thickness without bases.
