Please note that Naniwa changed the name of this stone from the Traditional 8,000 to the Standard 8,000.
This stone is new from Naniwa, and we're nicknaming it the "New Snow White" since it's very similar to the original by that name that we also sell. This stone cuts a little faster, and we're told by Naniwa that the particles are a little more uniform. It also seems to use a little more water than the original Snow White. This 8,000 grit stone from Naniwa is a pure white magnesia bond stone with great polishing properties. Jyunpaku translates to “pure white” or “snow white,” hence the nickname it receives in sharpening circles. This is a great stone to progress to after using the 5,000 and before progressing to the 10,000.
The stone measures 210mm x 70mm x 20mm.

My Junpaku arrived with one of its corners crushed, so a small bit of it flaked off as soon as I unpacked it. However, it didn't factor into its performance. The stone was a bit peaky on the edges and center, and required a bit of flattening with my course DMT plate. I put it through its paces with a variety of steels. Stainless proved to be the most difficult of the bunch to finish with this stone, but it ultimately produced a finely polished edge. The Junpaku has good hardness, so gouging shouldn't be an issue. The polish it achieves is quite nice for an
