Naniwa Super Stone 8000 Set + Nika Sharpening Guide

The Naniwa Super Stone S1-480 set with Nika guide is a tool designed for the final stage of sharpening and finishing the cutting edge of kitchen knives. The 8000 grit stone is used for polishing the blade after the geometry has been formed, where controlling the edge's microstructure and stabilizing it are crucial. The abrasive material is embedded in a Naniwa-developed synthetic resin bond, ensuring uniform operation across the entire working surface. The high concentration of fine abrasive particles enables precise edge finishing while maintaining low cutting resistance. The "Splash & Go" design eliminates the need for prolonged soaking, allowing for simply wetting the surface with water before use. The #8000 grit provides a very fine finish to the cutting surface, resulting in high operational sharpness and a smooth cut. The stone maintains stable performance even with high-hardness steels such as ZDP-189 and SG2 R2, enabling controlled polishing without sacrificing abrasive aggression. The set includes a Nika guide, which stabilizes the sharpening angle and helps maintain consistent edge geometry during sharpening. Mounted on the knife's spine, it facilitates precise guidance of the blade across the stone's surface. The contact element is equipped with a ceramic overlay, which increases durability and reduces wear. This set is designed for users who work with Japanese knives and expect a high-quality cutting edge finish during the final stage of sharpening.
