Najlepszy kamien!!!

Was in two minds on whether buy this as I was using the cheaper stones I purchased from Amazon.. The biggest difference is that the burr is achieved very quickly and you can maintain the edge angle more reliably due to this.. sharpening took half the time.. very smooth stone..

The Naniwa Chosera #1000 is a high-quality sharpening stone, ideal for routine maintenance of edges that are not heavily worn. I typically use it in combination with a Naniwa Chosera #400 for repairing chipped edges, and a Chosera #3000 for final polishing. The Chosera #1000 has medium hardness compared to other stones, which I find ideal. What I particularly like is that it doesn’t clog easily and provides excellent feedback while sharpening. If you're in a hurry and need a quick, working edge, this stone is more than enough. In practice, its grit behaves more like #1500–1800, making it finer than what the nominal grit rating suggests compared to other brands. If you're planning to remove the base, as I did, I recommend using wooden or plastic wedges. Avoid using flathead screwdrivers, as they can chip the stone's edges. It would be great if Naniwa released a base-free version of the Chosera line, as many users prefer to use their own sharpening setups.

鉋の研ぎに使用していますが研削力大で良い感じです。プラスチックの台の無いタイプがあったら良いと思います。
