"The 3000 grit stone is one of my favorite finishing stones, it is useful for your high HRC 62+ knives or exotic steels to an extent. Leaves an almost mirror polish, a glossy mirror finish." - Sean @ Good Kinsmen Generously SizedThe Naniwa Chocera Pro Stones we carry are quite generously sized. The actual dimensions are 210 x 70 x 20mm. This roughly translates to 8 1/4" long x 2 3/4" wide x 3/4" thick. This size is just about perfect for most knives and tools. The thickness of the single grit stone will last countless sharpening sessions. Splash and GoSoaking the Chocera Pro stones is not recommended. A quick in and out dunk in water, or spraying them several times over the coarse of a minute or so is all that's required. We do recommend keeping a spray bottle handy to keep the stones wet while sharpening. Some Care RequiredLike many products designed for the high-end user, the Naniwa Chocera Pro Stones require more care than your average stone. Unlike some water stones, these are not to be left in water, leaving them in water will affect the bonding. When you are done, just let them air dry. Don’t try to speed up the drying process by exposing them to heat, just let them air dry so they can dry evenly. Store the stones only after they are completely dry. If this extra care is too much for you, we suggest you choose a different type of stone.
