Naniwa Traditional Standard #220
Naniwa Traditional series is designed as quality stones at a more affordable price. This series is popular both in households and in kitchens in Japan and all over the world. Its size and efficiency make it an ideal choice, especially when sharpening stainless steel knives.
From this series, grit #220 is intended for rough sharpening, i.e. repairs and straightening of blades. When you need to remove a lot of steel from a knife, you can't start the process on a fine stone like #1000, you need a coarse stone. This will save you an incredible amount of time and make the work you need to do much easier. This stone is also suitable for repairs and reprofiling i.e. thinning the blade of your knives as it removes a large amount of unnecessary material from your knife extremely quickly.
DIMENSIONS: 210x70x20mm
Weight: 590g
Method of use: stones from Naniwa's Traditional Standard series belong to submersible stones, which means that before use, you need to completely submerge it in water and wait 10-15 minutes until the stone absorbs the required amount of water. This is done so that during sharpening, water is retained on the surface of the stone and thus provides the most effective surface for sharpening.
After use, let the stone dry at room temperature, do not expose it to direct sunlight.
Note: the stones are fragile, so keep them from falling.
Everything you need to know about sharpening
How to choose the first Japanese knife?
If you are buying your first Japanese knife, the advice is to choose a multifunctional blade shape that will cover the widest range of your needs in the kitchen. This includes Gyuto, Santoku and Bunka. The rule is that bigger people need bigger knives and vice versa.
Japanese knife as a perfect gift
Although in the culture of the Far East it is not recommended to give a blade as a gift because of the connection with cutting off good relations, they also could not resist the perfection of such a gift, so they devised a "trick" that allows them to gift knives without problems. Just ask for one coin from the person receiving the gift and in the eyes of strict superstition spirits it will be a fair exchange. Now no joke, a knife is a gift that unlike other transient things will be remembered forever because it will serve forever.
