Naniwa Standard Series – Traditional Quality for Sharpening

Discover the Naniwa Standard whetstones, formerly known as Naniwa Traditional. With roots deeply embedded in Japanese sharpening tradition, these stones combine heritage with performance that rivals even the most modern options.

The Naniwa Standard series offers a wide range of whetstones suitable for both beginners and experienced sharpeners. They combine quality, efficiency, and ease of use – making them a reliable choice for home and professional use alike.

From coarse to fine:

• Pink Arato 220 (coarse): Ideal for heavy sharpening and repairing damaged edges.
• Standard 1000: Known for its balanced sharpening feel – smooth, controlled, and efficient.
• Green 2000: Requires less water and delivers a refined finish after basic sharpening.
• Crowning 4000: Provides a mirror-like polish and performance comparable to much more expensive stones.

Easy to use:

The Naniwa Standard 220 and 1000 stones should be soaked for about 10–15 minutes before use. Based on my experience, the Arato 220 performs best after soaking for about 30 minutes. The stones can be kept in water for longer without issues, ensuring they’re always ready when needed. The 2000 and 4000 grits can be considered Splash & Go stones and require only minimal soaking.

Naniwa – Quality You Can Trust.

The Naniwa Standard series is a perfect choice for those who value tradition, practicality, and Japanese craftsmanship. Experience how timeless quality can elevate your sharpening to a whole new level!
