The Naniwa Professional line (previously known as the Chosera line) are super hard splash and go stones. These stones are slow wearing, fast cutting and HARD. They have a higher amount of abrasives and less binder than other lines from Naniwa, and are one of the best lines of stones money can buy in our opinion!
This 3000 grit stone is a fantastic option to finish your traditional stainless steel knives such as VG-10, V1 Gold, ZA-18, Ginsan, or your carbon steels if you want a slightly toothier edge to plow through tough skins like tomatoes or chilis. You CAN use this stone to finish German knives, but you're pushing it a bit with a 3000 in our opinion so make sure not to spend too long on this stone and burnish those softer steels!
