The Naniwa Chosera Pro 3,000 sharpening stone sits at the transition point between medium-grit sharpening stones and fine finishing stones, making it one of the most flexible options in the lineup. For most kitchen knives, a 3,000-grit sharpening stone delivers an ideal balance of sharpness, bite, and edge durability, making it perfect for everyday food prep without the fragility of ultra-polished edges.
This sharpening stone is also an excellent bridge in a progression, efficiently refining the scratch pattern left by 1,000 or 2,000 grit sharpening stones while preparing the edge for higher grit finishers such as 5,000 or 10,000. Thanks to the fast-cutting nature of the Chosera Pro series, it achieves this refinement quickly, helping reduce time on the stone while maintaining excellent edge quality.
Like all Chosera Pro sharpening stones, the 3,000 is hard, fast cutting, and slow to dish, with smooth, controlled feedback that makes it easy to monitor edge development. It is a true splash-and-go sharpening stone—just wet the surface before use. Extended soaking is not recommended due to the resin-bonded construction.
Stone Size: 210mm x 70mm x 20mm
Care Instructions: Splash-and-go use only. Do not soak. Rinse after use and allow to air dry completely before storing.
Customer Feedback Summary: Customers consistently describe this sharpening stone as extremely versatile, with many noting it can serve as both a finishing stone and a standalone solution for achieving a very sharp working edge. Users praise its fast cutting speed, excellent feedback, and resistance to dishing. Several reviewers mention that it produces a refined, polished edge that is more than sufficient for most kitchen and even woodworking tasks. Overall, it’s regarded as a high-performance sharpening stone that delivers professional-level results with efficiency and control.
Please note: Naniwa has updated the name of this stone from the Chosera 3,000 to the Naniwa Chosera Pro 3,000 (sometimes spelled Chocera). The stone itself remains unchanged.

Bought in conjunction with the 1000 and 8000 stones and love the bite on this stone above either of the other stones. I have a 1000 and 4000 by another maker which I will be giving away. That's how much I like these stones.

Love this stone! Works great on straight razors to really reinforce the bevel after the 1k. Used it on a few knives as well after the 1k. Love the feel and feedback of this one. Highly recommended.

Fabulous stone! It muds up well and produces a usable, extremely sharp, and polished edge. I bought it as a step to my 6k stone, but it's actually good enough to be the final edge for most of my woodworking needs. Fast, dish resistant, super cutter, honer, and polisher. What more could one ask?!
