The Naniwa Chosera Professional is the stone that experienced sharpeners describe when they talk about feel and feedback. The bond is hard enough to dish slowly and cut consistently, but soft enough to build a rich slurry that tells you exactly what the edge is doing. Splash-and-go convenience. Full 210mm x 70mm x 20mm size. No soaking. Just water and work. The Chosera Professional line covers the full grit range - from edge repair through mirror polish - with consistent bond character at every step.
At 5000 grit the Chosera Professional enters polishing territory - producing a near-mirror finish that handles all kitchen cutting tasks with exceptional cleanliness and precision. Jesus compares it favorably against Shapton Glass stones, Naniwa Super Stones, Norton, and Coticule - calls it the best stone he has ever used, hard with a finish so shiny it is almost a mirror, at a price point below comparable alternatives. Socrates describes great feedback, slow wearing, and a near-mirrored finish. The Chosera 5000 is harder than the equivalent Shapton Pro 5000 in feel, giving it a unique position as a polishing stone with genuine feedback throughout the session.
What Customers Are Saying: Two five-star reviews with exceptional depth. Jesus has used Shapton Glass, Naniwa Super Stones, Norton, and Coticule - and calls this the best stone he has ever had. Hard, near-mirror finish, better than a Coticule at a lower price. Would buy again. Socrates confirms: great feedback, slow wearing, near-mirrored finish by itself. When used with its own slurry the finish refines further. Two detailed five-star reviews from experienced sharpeners is a strong signal - both had tried most of the competition before landing here.
Care Instructions: No soaking required - splash with water and use immediately. The Chosera is a harder stone than most synthetic alternatives but benefits from keeping the surface wet during use. Rinse after each session to remove metal swarf and stone slurry. Allow to dry completely before storing. Flatten periodically with a diamond plate or lapping plate to maintain a true surface. The stone will dish more slowly than softer synthetics but flattening is still essential for consistent results.

i got different man made watertstones, shapton glass stones, naniwa ss, Norton, but so far this stone is the best stone I ever had. It is hard, and the finish it leaves it so shiny, almost like a mirror. It is like a Coticule, but way cheaper and it gives a better finish. I;d buy it again!!

Let me just say upfront that this is a great stone. Great feedback, slow wearing. The finish the stone leaves is, by itself, almost mirrored. When used with it's sister, the 10k, the edge is out of this world.
