Hibiki

Naniwa Hibiki whetstones are top-quality and specifically designed for demanding sharpening tasks. These stones are considered harder than many other whetstones, meaning they are highly wear-resistant and stay flat for a long time. This makes them an excellent choice for sharpening tools and knives made from hard steel.

Hibiki stones are partially porous and require a short soaking period before use. After soaking, they provide an excellent sharpening feel and a smooth, though slightly hazy, finish. These stones are particularly designed for professionals who need durable and reliable sharpening tools. Hibiki stones stay flat for a long time and offer a very fine finish.

Overall, Naniwa Hibiki whetstones are high-quality, durable, and designed especially for demanding users who value long service life and excellent performance.
