Practical Applications & Expert Tips
- Step-Down Sharpening: For best results, use this stone only after a 5,000 or 8,000 grit stone. Jumping from a low grit (1,000) directly to 10,000 is inefficient and will not yield a true mirror polish.
- Soaking Requirements: This is a 'Splash-and-Go' style stone. Do not soak it for extended periods (more than 5-10 minutes) as the resin bond can be affected. A quick surface spray is usually sufficient.
- Slurry Management: Allow a light slurry (the 'mud') to build up during use. This abrasive paste acts as the polishing agent that creates the characteristic Naniwa shine.
