Naniwa Traditional Standard #4000
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.
Naniwa Traditional Standard #4000 granulation stone belongs to the extremely fine stones intended for polishing the blade and achieving the final sharpness of the knife. Many professionals prefer that their Japanese knife be sharpened exactly at this graining, because in this way small teeth are left on the blade, which serve so that it has a "bite" and automatically starts cutting when it is placed against the food. We recommend this stone as the final stage of sharpening Japanese steels, and it can also be used for higher quality German steels such as those in Zwilling knives.
DIMENSIONS: 210x70x20mm
Weight: 600g
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.
