Naniwa Stone Holder

The best way to sharpen a knife is with a stand, which lifts the whetstone off the table surface while giving your fingers a little more room. Rubber feet hold the stone in place. With Splash and Go stones, you don't need to use much water, so sharpening is accessible on the table/countertop. 

This high-quality stand is Naniwa's design, made in China. The rubber feet don't smell, and the rods have remained rust-free on mine for several years now, so I confidently recommend them. In addition, this stand is taller and slightly wider than many similar ones. So frankly, I have yet to find another better product. So it is a quality product. 

Almost all stones from the Hiomakivi.fi store fit in this stand—also Shapton Glass Stone. The only stones that don't fit perfectly are the HAIDU HCR and HCA series. Also, some of the Wästikivi stones are too long—over 220mm. You can still use extra-long stones in this stand, as one end of the stone can lay on top of the bumper. 

The product does not include the stone shown in the picture.
