**Naniwa Chosera, Super and Work stones have been replaced by the new and improved Professional, Speciality and Combination stones. Click on the banner above for the new stones.**   
  
  



The Naniwa Chosera 400 whetstone uses magnesia as binder for the abrasive, in this case white aluminium oxide.  

  


The Chosera stones do not soak up any water so the stones do not need to be sprinkled with water frequently. This makes Chosera stones rather easy to sharpen with. Because of their hardness you will not cut into the stone easily and sharpening with these stones will take less time. Their hardness make them a good choice for knives made from hard steel.  
  


Splash with water before and during sharpening, do not soak or store in water.  
  

**About grit sizes**  

Whetstones come in various grit sizes. The higher the number, the finer the grit. A finer grit results in a sharper knife. Sharpening a really dull knife on a fine grit will take much time, so you will need to treat it on a coarser grit first.  
  



* 120 - 600: Appropriate when real dull knives need to be brought back in the right shape

* 800 - 1,000: Appropriate to sharpen knives that were already in a reasonable state

* 2,000 - 3,000: For a result sharper than most knives are when they leave the factory

* 5,000 - 12,000: To polish the knife and get a razor sharp edge



**Remarks pertaining to Chosera sharpening stones**  

During manufacture, Chosera sharpening stones are bound with magnesium. This superior production method guarantees superb results. However, these magnesium-bound stones are more prone to developing hairline cracks. To prevent this from occurring, it is important NOT to use too much water when wetting Chosera sharpening stones. So Chosera stones should NEVER be left to soak in water for a prolonged period of time! It is also important to dry these stones thoroughly after use and store them in a dry, dark place.

Garantie de très bon résultats, très agréable à utiliser également.
Remplacée depuis par le modèle professionnel.
Si la lame n'est bas abîmée il est possible de commencer avec cette pierre.
Sinon une pierre plus "agressive" sera necessaire (220 ou 240).
Pour finir un grain 800 puis 2000 vous garantiront un résultat parfait.


Deze steen gekocht in een set van 400, 1000, 3000 en 5000. Door gebruik van meerdere stenen gaat het slijpen sneller. De stenen zijn hard en je ziet het slijpsel al snel van je mes komen. Prima aankoop.

Neemt snel materiaal af van je botte messen, vergt niet veel oefening om messen scherp te krijgen, alleen de juiste hoek houden zodat je mes het mooist blijft is wat moeilijker

Die Chosera starten eh ausser Konkurrenz. Ausgezeichnete Steine, etwas teurer, aber die schafft man sich eh nur einmal an.
