SS-5000 Naniwa Polishing Industry Shrimp Mark, Professional Super Ceramic Whetstone with Base

The quality and value for the money is great for this 5000 grit Naniwa stone. The stand and cleaning stone provided with it are excellent!

I like it

Great 5K Hone. Check for the new binding material. Never soak in water . My stone appearance crackled. Be clear it doesn't effect how it performs. It just looks ugly. Cutting ability superior. For razors this is my mid-range hone. If it ever breaks apart, I will buy another. Solid repeatable hone. Pro Series for excellent results

I love Chosera stones. The "no base" in the description comes from the measurement of the stone, 25mm, without a base, "no base". These stones come with a base and are a deal. The new choseras are called Naniwa "Professional" stones. They cost a bunch more, are only 20mm thick and do not come with a base.

Quick delivery. Good quality. Trustworthy

Both the 5000 and the 2000 have a similar feel, they are both a little sticky but since the 2000 is a lower grit it has a wonderful feedback. The 5000 on the other hand has a bit of a learning curve with the amount of applied pressure being the key to success. This stone also benefits from a slurry stone of the same grit or higher

As mentioned by someone before the one I received had an attached base it is just like the other Choseras I have it came just like the photo

As I expected from the description, and even better results in practice. Smooth transaction
