Japanese whetstone 8000 grit Naniwa Super Stone

Super Stone S1-480 sharpening stone: 8000 grit

The stones in Naniwa 's Super Stone range all have a different grit to suit your every need. You can choose just one, or take several, as the stones complement each other.

This stone is relatively thin, just one centimetre thick. On the other hand, its composition means that it wears more slowly and therefore lasts longer. Highly concentrated in abrasive particles, the stone guarantees rapid sharpening of your kitchen knives. Naniwa uses a binder to agglomerate the material. This is a high-quality synthetic resin manufactured by Naniwa, which gives the stone greater resistance, particularly to the risk of chipping.

Its 8000 grit makes the stone highly effective as a sharpening finish. It gives a razor-sharp polish to blades with high or even very high hardness. So you can bring out the full cutting potential of your blades.

The Naniwa Super Stone range features so-called Splash & Go stones: you don't need to immerse your stones like conventional water stones. Simply moisten the surface and you're ready to go. You save time with these stones.

After use, it's important to brush the stone clean of any accumulated steel waste, then let it dry completely before storing. Leave the stone in the open air, but do not place it near a source of heat, as this may cause it to crack.

For ease of use, the stone can be fitted with a suitable stand to raise and stabilize it.

Choose a Naniwa Super Stone

Naniwa Japanese stones are top-of-the-range stones renowned for their durability and effectiveness. They are available in different ranges to suit all your needs.

Particularly appealing to professionals, Naniwa stones are recommended by the brand for experienced users. Being slightly softer than, for example, those in the Professional range, the blade can "sink" into the stone more easily and your knife would be damaged.
