We are proud to be the exclusive US distributor of this highly regarded range of waterstones featuring a thicker size of 20 mm and no base. The newly formulated Naniwa Super Stones are a softer alternative to their popular Chosera line. They are made with a new resin bonding agent which allows for a higher concentration of abrasive particles compared with other, less expensive methods of stone bonding. The higher abrasive levels enhance the tactile feel of the stone while improving the speed of sharpening. This is a fast loading stone.

This splash-and-go 5,000 stone is a perfect final grit for those who prize long term edge retention on their high performance Japanese knives. It is the natural next step following the use of a 1,000 grit stone. On the other hand, if you’re after a silkier edge, the Super Series 5,000 grit is an excellent “stepping stone” prior to taking your knives up to 8,000, 10,000, or even 12,000!

Most of the reviews are pretty accurate which is why I ordered the stone. It will gouge if you're not careful. All in all I think it's a nice finishing stone that will last lifetimes if taken care of. For the price, quality, performance, and overall value it's a fantastic stone to have in your lineup.

This is an excellent stone. Chefknivestogo is the only place I was able to find this stone without a bamboo stand. I highly recommend this product.

Extremely fast service. Received the parcel just after the 4th of July holiday. Couldn't believe that it arrived so quickly. Haven't tried the stone yet, but will use it as soon as the explosions after the 4th stop!

honestly this is probably my favorite 5k stone. It polishes to a mirror. This stone is a bit soft, feels like butter... firm butter haha. Super Stones have that tacky feel as you sharpen, almost as if your blade is sticking to the stone. This 5k is just amazing, feels great, leaves a great finish and a hair popping edge. Its an easy stone to work with. I really do not think you will be disappointed, if you are, you probably don't like synthetic water stones... I can't imagine what the 12k must feel like. I highly recommend this product.

  This thing is UNREAL!

Oh my god! This was my first time ever using a water stone to sharpen a knife. I had this 7 knife my head chef gave me that was extremely dull and wouldn't push cut paper. I spent about 10 minutes on this and then used Murray Carter's edge sharpness test. Needless to say, I have razor sharp cuts on most of my fingers.I can't wait to learn how to use this thing properly without cutting too much into it and making ridges! haha

After trying several 5/6k stones this is the one I like best for the 1K, 6K then strop on plain leather as taught by Mury Carter.

This stone is so smooth. The polish level of the SS series is unmatched. Leaves a nicely refined toothy edge with very almost no scratches.

This Naniwa super stone is a good size soft stone. The finished bevel is mirror shiny; shiner than other 5000 grit stones.It is easy to gouge the stone especially when grinding the edge leading.

The Naniwa SS 5K stone is a soft, slow stone that is able to put on a mirror polish that belies it's grit rating. Easy to use, moderate feel for a beginner, tends to load up quickly on some steels. Overall, a good stone to follow a 1K or 1.2K like the Bester. Follow this with a strop on felt with diamond spray and the knives are good for the week.

Fast cutting, perfect crisp edges with that shiny but ghostly haze finish. One of my all time favorites.
