Shapton GlassStone go from low to high grit, but I have only used the 16,000. (I buy them from SharpeningSupplies.com since they stand behind their products well. Ceramic stones polish well at a higher grit (5000 or higher). These are excellent for aggressive sharpening too.
The Naniwa Chosera 3000 moves material well from the blade. I really like using it. It is quick and effective. I have found that it feels less aggressive than diamond or GlassStones. understand too, that sharpening is personal and subjective, depending upon preferences and not a matter of one stone type being "better' or "worse" than another. This is a large stone, so the user should get much wear from it. Just slash and go. No soaking.
One warning. I was using a diamond stone to flatten out the edges on my Chosera, and I accidentally snagged a corner of the Chosera and broke off a piece of the stone. First, the edges needed smoothing since I had contacted them with my metal knob on my assisted--opening pocketknife. For most knives this would not be an issue, since they do not have this knob. I probably was a bit careless. Regardless, the stone functions fine still. Just a note of caution. I really like this stone. It is among my favorite.
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.

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.
