## Description

[Application] Cutting knives, stainless steel cutters, various knives, knives, planes, fleas, scissors, precision cutters, swords and other general cutlery. [Grinding type] #1000 Medium grinding stone mounted on a plastic base. [Features] Premium sharpening stone - Chosera is designed primarily for rapid sharpening of stainless steel, high alloy steel and blue steel edges that are difficult to sharpen with other synthetic water stones. Originally formulated for sword polishers, these stones quickly became highly demanded by all sharpeners for their speed, precision, polish and ultra sharp edges. The sharpening action is very similar to a natural stone in that the surface has a bit of elasticity that keeps the tool from skidding. Complete instructions for care and use are included. Lubricate with water while using.

Review: A Must-Have for Routine Edge Maintenance - The Naniwa Chosera #1000 is a high-quality sharpening stone, ideal for routine maintenance of edges that are not heavily worn. I typically use it in combination with a Naniwa Chosera #400 for repairing chipped edges, and a Chosera #3000 for final polishing. The Chosera #1000 has medium hardness compared to other stones, which I find ideal. What I particularly like is that it doesn’t clog easily and provides excellent feedback while sharpening. If you're in a hurry and need a quick, working edge, this stone is more than enough. In practice, its grit behaves more like #1500–1800, making it finer than what the nominal grit rating suggests compared to other brands. If you're planning to remove the base, as I did, I recommend using wooden or plastic wedges. Avoid using flathead screwdrivers, as they can chip the stone's edges. It would be great if Naniwa released a base-free version of the Chosera line, as many users prefer to use their own sharpening setups.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chosera: Best water stones you can buy
*by A***U on June 9, 2017*

The Chosera line of stones are my favorite. I sharpen knives as a side job and these are my go to stones with expensive kitchen knives or knives with super steels or expensive knives in general that I wish to give the best treatment. The stones are splash and go, DO NOT SOAK, and are extremely hard and slow wearing while cutting metal very quickly. Smoothest tactile feel of any water stone I've ever used. Just an absolute joy to use. Like every other stone in this line, this stone polishes well above it's stated grit while still cutting metal very quickly. In a progression, I usually use this after a Chosera 400, and before a Chosera 3000. This is the older version that is 25mm thick and comes with an attached base and nagura (which I never use but, I know some people like them). The newer stones are branded "Naniwa Professional" they are 5mm thinner and come without the base for the same price but are supposedly harder and slower wearing but I have not noticed any performance differences between the two versions so, definitely go with the older Chosera version as long as they're available.
