Professional Japanese Whetstone Naniwa Gouken 4000 grit

The Japanese Naniwa Gouken Sharpening stone is renowned in Japan, where it is used by professionals in the culinary world. It is one of the top-of-the-range artificial stones specializing in knife edge finishing. The result is simply incredible! What's more, it lets you equip your kitchen without blowing your budget.

Its orange-colored abrasive surface has a 4000grit: it's ideal for edge finishing, to achieve a razor-sharp result and reveal the cutting potential of your blades.

It is ideal for HRC 60 and above, which will hold the result much better than HRCs that are too low (whose knives will certainly be sharpened, but whose steel is not adapted to such a finish, so the result will be less durable).

This pedestal-less stone can be used with water: for example, leave it to soak for at least 10 minutes before use (you can also add a little when sharpening). The Naniwa Gouken stone is suitable for stainless steel and high-carbon blades. Recommended for professional chefs.
