Thread: What color is your Naniwa SS 12k?

I was just looking at pictures online... Almost all of the Naniwa 12k superstones I see pictures of are pink.

My 12k is white... I was just wondering what color everyone else's is...

Mine is a very light pastel pink. Maybe it's loaded with swarf. I notice sometimes my 1K and 12K ss look a little lighter/whiter, but after wetting/lapping the color returns to normal.

Mine is white on the top, sides, and after lapping. It turns gray when loaded with swarf.

Agreed, Your's is an Albino....My NSS 12k is pink. I have the whole set, not one is white....Maybe they changed. after all they are man made....

I beileve they switched the color of the 12k at some point. I know they def switch one, but I don't remember which (at Lynn's, I saw two of the same grit in different colors, but I'm not 100% sure which one it was).

This is also the same with the Naniwa Chosera #10000.

They come in baby blue and light pink.

They switched from pink to white a a months or 2 ago. Same hone, different color.

I prefer to call mine salmon colored .... ex ironworkers don't own pink hones.

It's like bass fishing... I don't own pink lures.
But I have a lot of bubblegum colored lures.
