Japanese Waterstones: Naniwa Super Stones
The Japanese waterstone maker NANIWA, based in Osaka, is known for making the best honing stones.
Naniwa sharpening and honing stones, in terms of hardness, lie between the Cerax and Chosera stones (more closer to the Cerax), and in use they have a very pleasant feel. One can almost sense the blade becoming sharper as one works.
The Naniwa Super Stones in the finer grits are the best for honing. With no other stone can one achieve so fine an edge.
Waterstones do wear concave with use and require periodic re-flattening. Our flattening stones will do this job. A flat stone is indispensable for effective sharpening, especially with flat blades like chisels and plane irons.
Packing note: They are made for us without plastic stand. However on the packing is written: "with stand". Please ignore that.

Super stone series
for sharpening and honing
Now you can have the Naniwa Superstones’ quality in a combination stone. The only disadvantage to this, in common with all other combination stones, is that you have in every grit size only one surface to work with, and so one must resurface hollowed stones more often. Because of the slightly different working qualities of the Naniwa stones, the nominal grit size, 800/5000, of this stone is more comparable to the classic 1000/6000 sharpening-honing combination.
