The **Naniwa Professional sharpening stone grain 1000** is a sharpening stone that will help you sharpen and maintain the sharpness of the knives you use most. Knives you use most often namely also quickly become blunt. That is why it is also often not necessary to sharpen these knives razor-sharp. For outdoor and pocket knives grain 1000 is perfect if you want to sharpen your knife and maintain that sharpness. For kitchen knives the 1000 grit can come in handy if you want to sharpen slightly blunt knives. A kitchen knife, however, doesn’t have to do so much heavy lifting. That is why we recommend also using a finer sharpening stone to make the knife even sharper.
## Naniwa Professional Collection
The Naniwa Professional collection is the improved version of the Naniwa Chosera Stones. Naniwa improved the binding agent for the sharpening stones. What is unique is that Naniwa itself produces this binding agent. It is important that this is optimally matched to the grain size. The result is that the Naniwa water stones are better than most sharpening stones produced by other brands, even though the grain size is similar.
## How to use Naniwa Professional Stones
The Professional Stone is made on the basis of bound magnesium. This is a superior production method that ensures the quality of the stones are unparalleled. The Professional Stones hardly absorb any water to make sure you only have to add some water before use. They don’t have to be submerged in water. After use, it is key the stones properly dry at room temperature. Don’t allow them to dry on the heater! Once dried store them in a dry, dark place. As such you prevent small cracks.
