Naniwa Super Stone 10,000 Grit Ceramic Finishing Waterstone (S2-490)

Achieve the Legendary 'Scary Sharp' Mirror Edge


Sharpening is a journey that begins with repair and ends with refinement. For those who demand more than just a functional edge, the Naniwa 10,000 Grit Ceramic Super Stone represents the pinnacle of Japanese abrasive technology. Unlike lower grits that remove steel to create a new edge, this ultra-fine 10,000 grit stone is a specialized tool designed to polish and temper.


At this microscopic level, you are no longer 'grinding'; you are aligning the steel's molecular structure and removing the invisible burrs that prevent a knife from gliding through delicate proteins. The result is a 'mirror edge'—an aesthetic masterpiece that provides a frictionless cutting experience.


Crafted using Naniwa’s proprietary resin-bonding process, this stone offers a unique tactile feedback often described as 'creamy' by professional sharpeners. This ensures you can feel the angle of your blade across the surface, providing more control than harder, glass-backed alternatives. Whether you are maintaining a high-carbon Honyaki or a modern VG-10 blade, this stone delivers the final, definitive touch of sharpness.

    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.
