Are your knives in need of sharpening?

The Naniwa Specialty Stone-series is the improved version of the well-known Super Stones-series. Naniwa has renewed the binding agent of the water stones. It is unique that Naniwa itself takes care of the production of the binding agent. Optimal matching to the grit size is important. The result of this is that the sharpening properties of Naniwa water stones are significantly better than sharpening stones of other brands even though the grit size is comparable. The Specialty Stones are hard sharpening stones so it is not very likely that your knife will 'bite' into the stone. Also the wear of the stone is minimal; they have a very long lifespan. However, it is advisable to regularly clean the sharpening stone with a 'dressing stone'.  
  


The Specialty Stones are synthetic resin-bound. The absorption of water is minimal so you only have to wet them and you can immediately start the sharpening process. They do not have to be submerged. The water stones will wear very slowly during the sharpening process. The advantage of this is that the stone cleans itself, as it were. Despite the 'wear' a Specialty Stone will have a very long lifespan.  
  

**About the grit size**
Sharpening stones are delivered with several grit sizes. The larger the number, the finer the grit. The finer the grit, the sharper the sharpening result. You start the sharpening process with a coarse grit and then continue with a finer grit. Steps of a factor two to three between the different grit sizes are ideal.  
  

**Indication for the selection of the correct sharpening stone:**


* Grit 200 to 600: suitable for repairing the cut of blunt knives

* Grit 800 to 1000: suitable for the sharpening of knives that are in a good condition

* Grit 2000 to 3000: for a sharper sharpening result than the condition in which many new knives are delivered

* Grit 5000 to 12000: for the sharpening of knives into a razor sharp condition

Das Schleifergebnis überzeugt! Achtung! Der Stein ist sehr empfindlich und bricht am Rand leicht aus, wenn man mit der Schneide versehentlich in die Kante "säbelt"... 

Assez fragile car seulement 10mm d'épaisseur mais la qualité est parfaite, j'arrive sans problème à obtenir un tranchant capable de couper des poils à la volée sans toucher la peau, même sans passer la lame au cuir. Il faut cependant faire des passes lentes car la lame peut facilement mordre dans la pierre car elle est relativement tendre. Le nettoyage est très facile sous l'eau avec un grattoir à vaisselle type scotch brite.

ce type de pierre "reconstitué" (par la j'entend qu'elle est fabriqué chimiquement pour créer une sorte de gomme, composé de poudre abrasive, et excellente pour donner le "ready shave" a vos coupe choux par exemple, sans avoir à les passer sur un cuir a la fin de votre aiguisage, et pour travailler le tranchant au niveau des microns, ce qui rend votre tranchant tellement effilé que l'accroche sur le poil n'est quasi plus perceptible! Et vous pouvez donc utiliser la lame directement en rasage sans craindre de vous couper! 

ce type de pierre remplace les pierre japonaise de carrière naturelle, avec des point positifs: le prix! mais aussi l'usage, pas besoin de la plonger sous l'eau 30 minutes, un simple mouillage suffit!  cependant quelques petits inconvénients sont présent comme le fait que le tranchant de la lame à tendance quand on se rapproche de l'effilage souhaité à épluché la pierre (constituer de gomme je rappelle) comme une vulgaire patate! donc la pierre s'use plus rapidement qu'une pierre naturelle! 

Sharpens well, but is easy to score the stone as the blade can easily catch on the stone
