Naniwa Stone Holder

Sharpening a knife is easiest with a stand that raises the whetstone off the table surface, giving your fingers more room. The rubber feet hold the stone securely in place. With Splash and Go type stones, you don't need to use much water, making sharpening easy on the countertop or kitchen sink.

This high-quality stand is Naniwa's own design, manufactured in China. The rubber feet don't smell, and the rods have remained rust-free for several years, so I confidently recommend this product. This holder is taller and slightly wider than many similar products. Honestly, I haven't found a better product yet—this is a quality item.

The whetstone stays in place on this stand even if you don't tighten the screws. Almost all of the stones in this online store fit well on this stand, including the Shapton Glass Stone. The only stones that don't fit perfectly are the HAIDU HCR and HCA series. Additionally, some Wästikivi stones are over 220 mm long, so they may extend slightly beyond the holder. However, I still use longer stones in this holder, as one end can rest against the stopper while the other end rests on the so-called bumper, keeping the stone securely in place.
