Product Description

[Application] Cutting knives, stainless steel cutters, various knives, knives, planes, fleas, scissors, precision cutters, swords and other general cutlery. [Grinding type] #3000 Finishing stone mounted on a plastic base. [Features] Premium sharpening stone - Chosera is designed primarily for rapid sharpening of stainless steel, high alloy steel and blue steel edges that are difficult to sharpen with other synthetic water stones. Originally formulated for sword polishers, these stones quickly became highly demanded by all sharpeners for their speed, precision, polish and ultra sharp edges. The sharpening action is very similar to a natural stone in that the surface has a bit of elasticity that keeps the tool from skidding. Complete instructions for care and use are included. Lubricate with water while using. Naniwa abrasive Mfg is a Japanese manufacturer of sharpening stones for industrial and home use, diamond tools for processing stone and other materials, sandblasting systems for stone engraving, and a full range of products related to abrasion, with over 60 years of experience, dedication, and innovation. When we say, "cutting-edge technology," we mean it literally! Our unwavering high levels of product quality and service are highly praised by customers in Japan and around the world. We produce the whetstones matching the needs for the grinding of every knife - from the blade to the carpenter tools such as a plane, the chisel, the professional chef's knife, kitchen knife, fish-slicing knife, the butcher knife, home stainless steel kitchen knife and knife for farm use or forestry use. With these various abrasives, we satisfy the needs of the customers, and various manufacturing methods based on a positive technique and abundant experience guarantee the quality of the products.

Best I've ever used...

Best I've ever used...
My photos don't match the review because the first one arrived broken, but Amazon replaced it with no issue. The second Chosera 3000 arrived perfect.I own; full Dan's Arkansas stone set, Sharp Pebble set, both Lansky's Diamond & there Arkansas set, along with various diamond stones. The Chosera 3000 has my favorite 3000 grit stone out of them all. I'll list the pro's over the others.- Sharpens about 5x faster than my Arkansas black (3000ish)- Load-up is slow to nothing. With both my Sharp Pebble and Arkansas stones, they require cleaning that takes about 5 minutes and need cleaning within 30 passes. The Chosera 3000 only requires spraying with water with a spray bottle. I'll spray some water on the area I want clean, then rub lightly with my finger. This is the most load resistant stone I've ever used.- Wears extremely slow. With over 200 passes among all knives I've sharpened this week is has yet to show any wear.- Has a satisfying feel when sharpening. Arkansas stones feel too hard, Sharp Pebble feels too soft, DMT diamond stones feel too scratchy. This Chosera stone feels the most comfortable/enjoyable to sharpen with out of any stone I've used.As a stand alone, this would work very well as a daily kitchen knife stone. No need to soak, very easy to clean, would last near lifetime. I love this stone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast cutting stone, nice polish, very dense stone, won't be disappointed!
Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2020
As Ryky and others said about this stone, Chosera 3000 is an awesome whetstone. The response of this stone is quick. I developed a burr after 2 passes on both sides on my cheap $10 knife (vs. 4 passes on KDS 6000 grit side). The stone feels very smooth, much like a KDS 6000. The polish it gives is a satin (Kasumi) finish (see pictures for example). After stropping on ordinary barber's leather strop, the cut on paper feels very very clean. The stone is expensive (I bought this one $119), but its worth the investment. If you have knives that are relatively sharp, this stone will push it to its full potential!

5.0 out of 5 stars Pierre à grain fin parfait pour semi-finition
Reviewed in France on April 14, 2019
Arrivée à bon port sans problème, cette pierre (la rouge sur la photo) est livrée avec un socle plastique et une pierre de rectification de la planéité.
La pierre est plus tendre que la #1000 (la verte) et le couteau glisse avec douceur une fois mouillée. On voit l'abrasif qui se crée très rapidement. Je trouve son utilisation agréable mais peut être un poil tendre.

Pierre fait pour la demi-finition. Quand on maîtrise avec une telle pierre, on est déjà très tranchant.
