Naniwa Super Stone 2,000 Grit

The Naniwa Super Stone line sits near the top of what Naniwa makes - high-quality ceramic compound stones at 20mm thickness that outlast most cheaper stones sold at 10mm. CKTG is the sole North American distributor. The ceramic formulation strikes a balance between polishing ability and durability: these stones tend to run on the softer side, which means they dish more readily than harder stones like the Shapton Pro but also feel more responsive and give better tactile feedback during sharpening. Splash-and-go use - no soaking required. Flatten regularly with a diamond plate when dishing develops.

The 2K Super Stone is a transitional stone - used after a 1K to refine the scratch pattern before moving to a finishing stone, or as a standalone maintenance stone for knives that are already in good shape and need only light work. At 2000 grit it removes 1K scratches efficiently and leaves an edge that is sharp enough for most kitchen tasks without a further finishing step. For cooks who sharpen on a two-stone setup (1K and a finisher), the 2K is the stepping stone that bridges that gap without requiring a large grit jump. No soaking required. 210mm x 70mm x 20mm.

What Customers Are Saying: The one reviewer confirms it performs well as a transitional stone between coarse and fine - exactly the role it is designed for.

Care Instructions: Splash-and-go - no soaking required. Add water during sharpening as needed. Flatten with a diamond plate when dishing develops. Store dry.
