Naniwa Chosera water stones are one of our favorite synthetic water stones on the market today. Size: 210 x 70 x 25mm Chosera stones should be soaked in water for 15-20 minutes before use. Comes with a 600 grit stone cleaner. These are also baseless so that the stones can be used on both sides.
This is a great stone; cuts beautifully and is a great size,wide and long so large gyutos are no problem.
Does tend to build a thick slurry if not kept watered during sharpening but this doesn’t detract from its performance.

I am very pleased with the performance of this stone. I received this stone by accident; but it turned out to be a great blessing. Having used Ark stones,Norton water stones,and Sigma Power stones,I was really surprised at how well this Chosera 1000 works. First,it’s pretty fast and cuts wonderfully! The stone is super dish resistant! It slowly works up a slurry and polishes blade backs (woodworking chisels and plane blades)to better than all but the Sigma. What I love about the stone is how it continues to work even when loading up. I’ve experienced no glazing with the stone. The green slurry is annoying,but it washes right off without a problem. Likewise,this stone is quick and easy to flatten. And,like the Sigma Power,the Chosera 1000 has a superior feel to the other stones I’ve used. Though the higher price was an initial hinderance to me,I’ll have to say that I expect it to outlast all other stones (well,not the Ark stones) I’ve tried. This stone gets flat,stays flat,and demonstrates excellent longevity. I’m glad I tried it!!!

This stone is great. It cuts very quickly. Great feedback. I can see why this is one of the best bevel setters out there. Very cool using it.
