Naniwa Professional Ceramic Whetstone with Stand Grit #2000 SS-2000

I have been free hand Sharpening my entire life. I really appreciate high quality Japanese ceramic water stones and favor Naniwa brand as they have great feel, are very true to grit, and give impeccable results when used correctly. I have every Chosera and even though each is great two really stand out. Ofcourse the 10,000grit is one and then this 2,000 grit which is such an over looked stone. It feels great and is actually the stone i use most, so much as i am on a second one which i burnt through the first just as fast as i did my first 400grit chosera. The 2,000 is great for maintaining knives you cut meat with that you don't really want a fine polish on since super sharp ultra fine polished blades on meat with some fat content don't work mix together. The 2000 gives you that sharp edge that u can hit on a leather strop quick and cut meat very well and as long as you aren't very nasty to your knives by chipping them or something then this 2000 grit serves as a maintainer that you end up using more than the rest. This all depends though on how each person likes to sharpen, as we all have our ways that work this is just what works for me.Thank you

The chosera 2000 is such an underrated stone in the whole line up . Everyone mentions the 800 and the 3000 but , in my opinion , the 2k is the best finisher for most stainless steel kitchen knives . It leaves a refined edge with quite a bit of bite to it that shaves hair even without stropping on plain leather . The stone is a little bit softer than the 3000 and the feedback is better .

The stone is great perform very well. However I am not giving it a 5 stars cause the stone came a bit dirty with some spots which make me think it was stored in bad conditions if I wanna give the benefit of the doubt. Other than this it is fine.

This is a really excellent stone. 2000 grit cuts very well but is fine enough to use as a finishing stone when you want a little "tooth". I have a 1000 and a 3000 grit from the same company and they are also super.

This was my third attempt at buying this stone, the first two were discolored like they had been in contact with a chemical of some kind. After returning and changing sellers the next stone was perfect. The stone itself is awesome, fast cutting and great feedback one of my favorite stones

No problems, great stone, very happy!

Very fast cutting & great feedback. Wear is about medium. A great compliment to their 800 grit stone.

I like that a nagura is included; 2000 and coarser grit stones usually don't come with a nagura.
