Popular in Japan as Chosera, this stone is favored by professional sharpeners and hobbyists alike. Some advantages include:

• Exceptional dimensions given the quality of the stone

• Harder texture retains its shape well, reducing the need for flattening

• Naniwa’s premium technology ensures maximum effectiveness even when sharpening extremely hard steels while maintaining a natural friction feel

• "Splash & Go" technology – no pre-soaking needed

Usage instructions:
Place the stone on a stand or elevated surface to allow free hand movements. Made with "Splash & Go" technology, it does not require pre-soaking—just wet it and you’re ready to go. Add water as needed during sharpening.

After use, rinse the stone with cold water—do not use a sponge or detergent. Stand it upright to let the water drain naturally. Do not dry it with a cloth; let it air-dry at room temperature.

Note: The stone is fragile, so protect it from falls.
