Naniwa is known for making quality water stones. The Naniwa Traditional Water Stone is no exception. If you're looking for a quality water stone, the Naniwa Traditional offers a tremendous value in a full-sized stone.
Each stone measures 210x70x20mm. The stone is thick enough to provide many years of sharpening.

The Naniwa Traditional Water Stones are an excellent balance between price and features. You still get the quality and attention that Naniwa gives all their stones, but don't have to pay the higher price of their more expensive lines of stones. Unlike the Super Stones (now called Sharpening Stones) these have a traditional bonding that absorbs water. We recommend soaking before use. The coarser grits readily absorb water while the finer grits don't require as much soaking prior to use.
