Thread: Chosera 5k new price?

I was reading the thread about the lucky guy who won the chosera 600 at a very good price and one of the members asked about the place where he got it. Anyways I always purchase most of my stones from two websites. One is called "Chefknives to go" and the other one is called "Sharpening supplies" I purchased a Naniwa chosera 5k from chefknives to go a few months ago and I paid $125 but now the price has increased a lot, now they are selling it for $200. But on the other website they are still selling the chosera 5k at $137. That's $63 savings!!
The Chosera 2k is also at a very good price, with a $42 difference. Here are the links. if someone would like to check it out, or if someone was thinking about getting either one of these stones.

Chosera 5,000 Grit

Jela, Thanks for posting. More than a few of us have to watch the funds, and help like this is just what's needed. Many Thanks.

you are welcomed.

Surely will be looking to get a 3K in the near future to fill a gap.
We all need to watch our expenses with all these -AD's.
Thanks for the information and the price comparison.

5k Super stone is much cheaper and does the job just the same.
Another option is Shapton Pro 5k

They sell them here for what works out with shipping to US for $158. Not as cheep as the one posted but maybe worth a look for future buys

edit: forgot to post the link
