Naniwa Traditional Standard #8000
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.
An extremely fine grit such as this #8000 is used to polish the blade on quality blades that are intended for special tasks. This stone is ideal for achieving the final sharpness of sushi knives, razors, and is very often used for polishing katanas - Japanese swords.
Very small, finely distributed abrasives work the steel to such an extent that the human eye on the blade can no longer detect scratch marks from coarser stones. This is called a "mirror finish" or polishing to a mirror shine. Such blades are impeccably sharp and can be compared to a surgical scalpel, however, their sharpness does not stay too long and this is exactly why the best sushi masters in Japan sharpen their knives before the start of each shift.
DIMENSIONS: 210x70x20mm
Weight: 720g
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.
