These stones are designed for professionals who put the highest daily demands on their knives. Overall, these stones are best for those who don't have a lot of time to spend and need to quickly and cleanly sharpen their knives. Every Chosera sharpening stone is delivered with a special Nagura stone (67 x 49 x 25 mm) to put a fine sharpening paste on the surface of the Chosera stones during use. This 400 grit is excellent for establishing a new bevel angle or removing chips from the blade. Naniwa claims these are splash-and-go stones, but users say that soaking for a few minutes can further improve the sharpening quality. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e400 Grit: rought stone for really dull blades or fix small chips. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e1000 Grit: medium stone, the starting point of a regular sharpening session. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e3000 Grit: medium fine stone, used as finishing stone for most of the kitchen knives.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Naniwa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47358984224989,"sku":"NNW-CSR-413-BDL","price":399.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/NaniwaChosera400_1K_3KJapaneseWaterstoneSeta.jpg?v=1770169444"},{"product_id":"naniwa-gouken-arata-400-1k-3k-grit-japanese-waterstone-set","title":"Naniwa Gouken Arata (Baby Chosera) 400 \/ 1K \/ 3K Whetstones Bundle","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; color: #ff0000;\"\u003eNANIWA CHOSERA  ONLY SALES TO AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND ONLY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"210\" data-end=\"297\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"210\" data-end=\"297\"\u003eNaniwa Gouken Arata (Baby Chosera) – 400 \/ 1000 \/ 3000 Grit Japanese Waterstone Set\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"299\" data-end=\"662\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong data-start=\"303\" data-end=\"326\"\u003eNaniwa Gouken Arata\u003c\/strong\u003e, often referred to as the \u003cstrong data-start=\"353\" data-end=\"371\"\u003e“Baby Chosera”\u003c\/strong\u003e, delivers the renowned Chosera sharpening performance in a \u003cstrong data-start=\"431\" data-end=\"469\"\u003emore compact and accessible format\u003c\/strong\u003e.
