The Legendary Professional's Workhorse

The Naniwa Chosera #1000 is widely regarded by sharpening experts as one of the best 1k stones ever made. Offering an unparalleled combination of speed, tactile feedback, and durability, this is the ultimate workhorse for professionals and enthusiasts seeking a perfect edge.

If you ask a seasoned sharpener to name one "must-have" stone, chances are they'll name this one. The Naniwa Chosera (Professional Stone) #1000 is a true legend in the sharpening world, and for good reason.

The #1000 grit is the cornerstone of sharpening. It's the grit you'll use most often perfect for turning a dull knife into a sharp one, setting a new bevel, or undoing minor wear. This stone performs that task faster and more pleasantly than almost any other.

Its secret lies in its premium magnesia-bonded construction. This binder creates a stone that is hard and incredibly slow-wearing, yet it releases grit aggressively to cut steel very quickly. It also provides a unique, "creamy" and buttery-smooth tactile feedback that tells you exactly what's happening at the edge.

This is a true "splash-and-go" stone. It requires absolutely no soaking. Just splash on some water, and you are ready to sharpen.

This version is the stone with base and nagura.
