Thread: Naniwa ‘Nagura’

Folks,

I saw these in an email from Knife Merchant, a vendor that I sometimes get knife related products form. There appear to be a 3k, 5k, and 10k, and they’re advertised as stone conditioning tools. They appear to be pieces of the regular whetstones. Anyway, I have a 5k and 10k coming, so I’ll report back with more info later.

Currently I’m using an 8k King ‘nagura’ on finer synthetic stones, but the king can shed particles so it isn’t really good for slurry and you need to rinse a hone well after using to condition a hone surface.
