The Naniwa Chosera 5000 whetstone uses magnesia as binder for the abrasive, in this case white aluminium oxide.

The Chosera stones do not soak up any water so the stones do not need to be sprinkled with water frequently. This makes Chosera stones rather easy to sharpen with. Because of their hardness you will not cut into the stone easily and sharpening with these stones will take less time. Their hardness make them a good choice for knives made from hard steel.

Splash with water before and during sharpening, do not soak or store in water.

Grit: 5000

Measurements: 210 X 70 X 25 mm

Fixed on plastic baseplate with non-skid rubber feet

About grit sizes
Whetstones come in various grit sizes. The higher the number, the finer the grit. A finer grit results in a sharper knife. Sharpening a really dull knife on a fine grit will take much time, so you will need to treat it on a coarser grit first.

• 120 - 600: Appropriate when real dull knives need to be brought back in the right shape
• 800 - 1,000: Appropriate to sharpen knives that were already in a reasonable state
• 2,000 - 3,000: For a result sharper than most knives are when they leave the factory
• 5,000 - 12,000: To polish the knife and get a razor sharp edge

Remarks pertaining to Chosera sharpening stones
During manufacture, Chosera sharpening stones are bound with magnesium. This superior production method guarantees superb results. However, these magnesium-bound stones are more prone to developing hairline cracks. To prevent this from occurring, it is important NOT to use too much water when wetting Chosera sharpening stones. So Chosera stones should NEVER be left to soak in water for a prolonged period of time! It is also important to dry these stones thoroughly after use and store them in a dry, dark place.

Review from www.knivesandtools.nl. For your convenience translated into English by Google Translate. A great stone. I use the 5000 grit after 400 grit, 1000 and 3000. After some practice, my knives sharp enough to shave hairs on my arm but not really "razor sharp". You can consult the grain 10. 000 to buy but I think they cost too much. A great alternative: after 5000 grit polishing the blade on a leather belt with a bit of silver polish. This costs much less and actually now my knives razor sharp. The delivery was very fast. The stones are well packed. The included nagurasteen works fine, especially at grain 3000 and 5000. Conclusion: When in doubt, buy!

Review from www.knivesandtools.nl. For your convenience translated into English by Google Translate. I like a full set bought 400 - 1000 - 3000 and 5000. The latter two are excellent for "minor maintenance" of the blades sharp and they quickly received. The stones costs somewhat, but it is better immediately estate investing if you want your precious knives properly maintained. I used the Eden grinding tests purchased (for practicing with cheap knives), but these Chosera stones are a totally different world, by their larger size, they work just better, you better read the cutting edge maintained and the quality of the stone is that it is much faster and less risk the knife to scratch.

Review from www.knivesandtools.nl. For your convenience translated into English by Google Translate. This is the third stone Chosera I bought. About the quality I do not have much to say. For all purchased stones (grain 400.2000 and 5000) which is excellent. The big advantage is mainly the work experience. The stones are large and this nice polish. They are also glued to a plastic container, which prevents cracking of the stone. The 400 grit is suitable for sharpening dull blades of the correct angle to meet the 2000 and 5000 do the rest. Currently I use the 400 grain no longer my own knives (which remain sharply with the 2000 and 5000). Sometimes I have some external grinding blades and then the 400's turn again. The service and delivery are perfect. For the grain choice I had previously sent an email and was answered the next day. Top.

Review from www.knivesandtools.nl. For your convenience translated into English by Google Translate. I have bought the stone Chosera 5000 as a logical complement to the set of bricks that I have for some months sharpening chisels: Naniwa 80, Super 220 and the combination Chosera 400/800/2000 egaliseerstenen 60 and 220. The 5000 stone I use for the final edit, he can not be separated from the rest of the set. The 80 is soft, wears quickly and runs smoothly vol. I can for myself for this stone really think of any useful application. The 220 is a fine stone, but is dwarfed by the quality of the stones Chosera stones. Chosera the 400 works just as fast as the Super 220, with less wear. Combined with the 400 I will not recommend the 220. If Chosera a coarser stone, would I immediately ordered! About Chosera stone 400/800/2000/5000 I am extremely happy. They do what you expect from a grindstone, and in a superior way. I realize now that I am the last thirty years the quality of my tools have not been fully exploited. This is definitely a purchase I should have done much sooner. I sharpen my bits with a Veritas Mk. II Honing Guide. The size of the stones provides plenty of scope for rapid and controlled work. Even on a wet surface, the stones remain firmly on it. By using the Veritas device, the center of the stone 2 times as often as the ends, leading to erosion from across the coarser stones in particular. If you buy stones of this caliber, it is strongly recommended that there is a set of (relatively cheap) to take egaliseerstenen.

Review from www.knivesandtools.nl. For your convenience translated into English by Google Translate. Ben butcher by profession and was accustomed to my cheap Victorinox butcher knives with the grinder to grind. But I like to cook in my spare time, and since I know how important good cutting tool content I have several precious Japanese chef / butcher knives bought. Since these knives were expensive, I had no intension to these knives on a grinder to make to maintain them. For no more than necessary of the knife "means" to grind. On a grinder will grind nameljk much faster than you actually want. Another problem is that, if we make a mistake, it costs just your knife. On a grinding wheel, you can control what and how much should be cut away from the blade. Since I always drag my blade 200 with a simple stone, and certainly not for my precious knives wanted to use. I bought a Chosera 5000. Wow, what a relief it say that! You should not really coarse grit 200 "DIY-grindstone" Compare this, but what at first use of stone Chosera came up to me was, This is only true quality. The stone is hardly necessary to include water before they start working. And what was especially noticeable during the grinding process was that the stone absorbs absolutely no sharps. After a knife facelift rinse the stone under the tap and is ready for another use. My knives are razor sharp, and I use it with full satisfaction to date.

Review from www.edenwebshops.de. For your convenience translated into English by Google Translate. Hi, as a hunter, I use three hunting knives, three more to deboning, filleting and rind. In the kitchen, my wife uses a variety of quality knives from WMF. The frequent and sometimes intensive use, the knife in dire need of a new cut. In particular, a hunting knife from ATS34 to date could fend off all grinding experiments successfully :-) After extensive research (You-Tube very helpful!), I ordered four Naniwa Chosera Waterstones (400/1000/3000/5000). The delivery was fast, packaged well the stones. With a "cheap" knives I have started the first trials, and was smitten from the start. Even the first cut produced a field that extends for shaving. In time you will be faster, it quickly developed individual attitudes of the knife. To date I have with the four stones about 20 knives reground, in my experience, compliance with a cut angle is more secondary, I take as a reference half a thumb's width at the back of the blade as a "pitch" (width about 4 cm). For narrow blades then a slightly smaller "angle" In summary: Good quality, fast delivery, good performance and I do the whole thing fun!

Eden has some nice YouTube videos where the application of Japanese wet stones is shown. There is also a pair of prominent U.S. sites specialized kitchen knives importers / distributors who also rave about this brand and its use in visual "knife sharpening" courses propagate. This does not disappoint!

Review from www.knivesandtools.nl. For your convenience translated into English by Google Translate. This stone is of very good quality. Your knives are really sharp when used properly! Currently I have a 220/1000 combo as a stepping stone and I ordered a 3000 because the cut will be smoother and the 5000 will rock even more to its advantage. Maybe I also order the 10000 chosera stone, but for now the combination that surpasses all expectations I have. I say so, good tools for the job!

Review from www.knivesandtools.nl. For your convenience translated into English by Google Translate. The finest Chosera stone I had was a Chosera 3000. This 5000 stone I bought at the last step, my chef's knives are just that little extra to give, and also as an intermediate step for razors, before the really fine stones are coming. A sharp knife is really frightening, just like on the youtube videos of knives and tools (without the movies I was not successful). Polishing in this 5000 brick costs a little time, so I'm now also stopped all knives on this stone, I got him now anyway. He is also great for razors, from 3000 through this 5000 stone to 10,000, and you have a razor from the flea market in no time again as sharp as it was 80 years ago (or sharper, who knows), and you can you shave them just fine. Very nice is that this Chosera stones so large that can not be overemphasized. Stone is expensive, if it's really worth your kitchen knives when you already have a 3000, that depends on your budget and how much fun you find it. I also think that the only worthwhile if you have a good knife, I feel that my example, carbon steel knife profited more from this fine stone from my stainless steel kitchen knives.
