Naniwa Ebijirushi Super Ceramic Chocera Sharpening Stone with Stand Grit #3000 - SS-3000 Brown

Excellent product, good sized stone.

I bought this Naniwa Chosera stone as I've seen many excellent reviews and videos on YouTube which show it to be a highly regarded. I bought it as the highest stone in my beginner's system as recommended on Dutch Bushcrafters Knifes channel. They recommend a 400 grit stone for profiling, a 1,000 and then this 3,000 grit for final polishing and refining. I tested this stone on a carbon steel kitchen knife that had been through another sharpening system I own. As it was already sharp(ish) I used the 1,000 and this 3,000. I found it quite easy to keep the knife at the appropriate angel and the stones were easy to use and clean. After only 5 minutes on each stone, then a strop, my kitchen knife was literally razor sharp, with a mirror edge. The bevel was not entirely even but that was my inexperience showing. To sum up, this stone is excellent, does what it's expected to namely to produce razor sharp, polished edges easily and quickly. I have used other cheaper stones and this is like night and day. Naniwa have changed over to production of the Professional line, where stones are not on the plastic rest. That's a shame in my opinion, so buy Chosera while you can. The nagura stone seemed to work well when I used it, producing a white slurry and cleaning off some of the metal marks on the stone. Very happy with this and I look forward to improving my technique.

Naniwa is simply the top quality in the sharpening tools. Magnesium bond makes it a breeze to work with. Superb choice especially if you have hard steel Japanese knives to sharpen.

Fantastic item. Just as described.

I reali love it. This is my second stone. First stone 800 grit nd this one

I havevto admid that this stone is one of the best stone in the market! You can have just only this stone and still bring your dull knife back to a razor sharp in 5 minutes. Totally worth it!

I get all the mirror shove I need with these stone. I use chosera 400, 800 and 3000 and my chef knives are razor sharpe with mirror finish. Not an 8000 or 12000 mirror but I don’t need that. Haven’t had this long but it’s performed great, highly reccomend

Cosa dire, conosciamo perfettamente questa pietra e chi l’acquista sa cosa compra. Il prezzo non è basso ma va visto come un investimento… è comunque una pietra davvero veloce, facile e che restituisce un feeling molto soddisfacente… insomma, è anche un piacere da usare. Ottima feedback, si capisce sempre cosa la pietra sta facendo sulla lama. La mia era esente da difetti e/o spaccature… da trattare con riguardo ma neanche diventarne schiavi 😊

This whetstone is legit. Quick and easy to use, just add water. No soaking, not muddy, resists dishing. Pleasant feel on the knife. Has a very good balance of polish and bite for the knife edge, enough polish to de-burr with care and leaves enough bite on the knife to cut into tomato skins and other such objects which require a good edge. Only downside is that it needs to be air dried after every use but thats basically every whetstone aside from diamond plates. Is a bit expensive but well worth it in my opinion and i’m glad i got it (2 of them actually). Have heard of these cracking but thankfully i have not experienced this myself and hopefully with careful drying i will not.

Item as described and very fast postage

The best of the best. Mijn favoriete steen. Een absolute aanrader 10/10

砥石の仕上げにとてもいいです。減りもすくなそう。値段が少しはりますが。この後に皮砥で最終仕上げします。
