Naniwa Gouken stones combine design and practicality:
A 20 mm thick stone with one rounded edge – perfect for sharpening tools like opening knives. On the opposite side, there’s a slightly concave edge, making this a versatile tool for sharpening gardening tools and other curved blades.
Many have been looking for more cutting power in shaped stones, and the Gouken 220 definitely delivers – it's surprisingly aggressive! In contrast, the Gouken 3000 is a silky-smooth finishing stone. The set also includes a pleasant-feeling 1000-grit stone for basic edge maintenance.
This set gives you a handy trio for a wide range of sharpening needs. 🔧🌿
NOTE!
This whetstone is a so-called semi-soaking stone. It works best after 5-10 minutes of soaking. Do not store the stone in a basin of water. After sharpening, immediately wipe the stone clean with a towel. This will give the stone a clean look and start the drying process. Place the stone to dry in a position where it does not touch a solid surface. For example, place the stone on top of a pencil. Allow the stone to dry slowly, without additional heating. Do not place the stone in direct sunlight. Do not allow the stone to freeze when wet. It takes more than 24 hours to dry. Store the stone protected from dents, for example, in its box.
