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

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.
